Michigan Police Disarm 5-Year-Old with Loaded Handgun, Three Arrested

In a shocking incident in Battle Creek, Michigan, a 5-year-old child confronted police with a loaded handgun after initially answering the door with a large kitchen knife. The police cadet, who was serving a subpoena, managed to disarm the child without injury and called for backup. Two men and a woman were taken into custody at the residence, where five children, aged 6 months to 8 years, were found and subsequently placed under Child Protective Services due to the deplorable conditions of the home. One child was hospitalized due to health concerns. Authorities are pursuing weapon and neglect charges against the adults involved, and this incident follows a prior domestic violence arrest at the same location. The situation has raised serious concerns about the safety and welfare of the children involved.
