Video shows the moment a diaper-clad child plays with a loaded gun in the hallway of an apartment building before aiming it at himself and pulling the trigger.
A neighbor who saw the boy last Saturday called the police, and authorities arrived to search the apartment where he lived with his father. Police found a Smith and Wesson 9mm pistol in the back of a desk drawer and the father was arrested.
Authorities say the father could be charged with child neglect.
Although the gun was loaded, fortunately, the boy was not injured in the incident, as the bullet had not been loaded into the gun.
The boy returned to his mother, with whom he lived a full life.
The incident happened in Beech Grove, Indiana, which is just outside of Indianapolis.
Watch the video below.
