A 18-year-old boy in the US state of Connecticut may be in trouble with federal aviation officials.
He posted a video online that shows shots being fired from a drone that had been jury-rigged with a handgun.
The FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) said on Tuesday it is investigating whether Austin Haughwout of Clinton violated its regulations, which prohibit the careless or reckless operation of a model aircraft.
The 14-second video shows a four-propeller drone with a semiautomatic handgun strapped on top hovering as it fires four shots in a wooded area.
