Probe over armed drone
A Connecticut teenager may be in trouble with federal aviation officials after posting online a video that shows shots being fired from a drone that had been rigged to carry a handgun. The Federal Aviation Administration said it was investigating whether 18-year-old Austin Haughwout, of Clinton, violated its regulations, which prohibit the careless or reckless operation of a model aircraft. The 14-second video shows a fourpropeller drone with a semiautomatic handgun strapped on top hovering as it fires four shots in a wooded area.
