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.
