Officers from the Battle Creek Police Department were lucky the 5-year-old whom they caught with a handgun did not pull the trigger. The police were able to disarm the young boy before breaking into the home to find three adults and four other kids.

The 5-year-old Michigan child from Inn Road was ready to go head-to-head with the cops while he clutched a handgun. The officers had intended to serve a subpoena at the property when they first noticed the child wielding a weapon.

Initially, he opted for a large kitchen knife. However, the officer in charge asked the child to report to the door with an adult. Instead of obeying the authorities, the boy chose a second weapon which was a firearm.

Per People, upon sighting the handgun, the authorities immediately acted to disarm the 5-year-old, before busting into the residence. Inside, the road patrol officers in charge discovered three adults including one woman and two men. Sources confirmed that these adults were handcuffed and booted to the station.

Another shocking discovery was finding four other underage kids between 8 years and 6 months. The police noted via a statement that these kids were in deplorable conditions due to neglect, thus they handed them to Child Protective Services.

Meanwhile, one of the kids was rushed to a local hospital over health issues. As for the adults, the Calhoun County Prosecutor’s Office slapped them with a series of charges including weapon charges and neglect charges.
