Cruz Velazquez Acevedo made a catastrophic split second decision after border officers found two bottles of liquid on him when he attempted to cross into California from Mexico. The 16-year-old Mexican national told the two officers that the bottles contained "apple juice," but they didn't buy it and asked Acevedo to take a sip to "prove" he wasn't lying, according to court records.

The mother of the Arizona toddler who shot and killed his 9-year-old brother told police she's previously let her younger son pick up her unloaded gun and practice pulling the trigger. The 9-year-old boy was rushed to the hospital Monday with a gunshot wound to head and died Tuesday morning, KPHO reported.
