A couple in Evansville, Indiana faces multiple charges after allegedlyallowing the woman's 1-year-old daughter to play with a .40 caliber pistol and put it in her mouth.
Videos of the toddler with the weapon were discovered by police on the cellphone of Michael Barnes, 19. He was busted for allegedly trying to sell a handgun to an undercover officer on Thursday, Newser reports.
Detectives examined Barnes' cellphone and claim they discovered two videos supposedly showing a 12-month-old girl playing with what investigators believe is the same handgun found during Barnes' arrest.
According to a police report, Barnes can be heard telling the child to say "pow." At one point, the child can be seen placing the muzzle of the gun to her mouth.
At no point during the video, did the suspect take the gun away from the child, who officials initially incorrectly identified as male.
Authorities did not say if the gun was loaded...
