Gun's safety was off

In a disturbing video that cropped up online, the 17-year-old Huncho was seen waving around the gun, supposedly switching off the gun's safety, then pointing the weapon to his head and pulling the trigger. Huncho was then pushed out of the video frame as he fell to the floor and the phone dropped.
