The toddler was captured on a neighbor's home security camera wearing a diaper and holding a handgun at an apartment complex on Saturday.
A man in Beech Grove, Indiana was arrested on live TV after his toddler son was allegedly seen outside their home holding a handgun. The father, Sean Osborne, was arrested on the show"On Patrol: Live," which follows police departments in real time and broadcasts live.
The neighbor told police she and her son saw the toddler with the gun in the hallway outside their unit, and that he pointed the gun at them. They quickly shut the door and called the police. The toddler was also seen pointing the gun at himself and pulling the trigger. There was no bullet in the chamber, so the gun did not fire.
When officers arrived at the apartment, they questioned the father, who told them he did not have a gun. After reviewing the neighbor's surveillance video, officers obtained the father's permission to search the apartment. Inside a closed desk, they found a Smith & Wesson 9mm handgun. Beech Grove, which is one of eight police departments across the country portrayed on"Oh Patrol: Live" received the call about a toddler with a gun just prior to going live at 9:00 p.m. on Saturday.In a statement to CBS News, Beech Grove Mayor Dennis B. Buckley said the police chief informed him of the incident soon after it took place.
