The 10-year-old-son of rapper Lil Durk allegedly shot his stepfather during a domestic dispute with the youngster's mother.
Surveillance cameras captured the moment the child allegedly grabbed the weapon from his stepdad, Joshua Pippens, and then aimed the gun at him before firing.
In video footage Pippens, seen in orange, can be seen attempting to try to restrain the child's mother, wearing purple.
In the middle of the fracas, the child, wearing a red t-shirt and shorts, aims what appears to be a gun directly at Pippens.

The video then cuts as the brawl spills over from the sidewalk and into the middle of the street as the couple continue to argue.
The child then points the weapon at Pippens as a single gunshot rings out.
Pippens can then be seen falling to the ground after being hit by a bullet.
The shooting incident occurred on July 1, since which time Pippens has spoken out from his hospital bed.
Pippens wrote on social media that he was not the aggressor and that the young child was simply following the orders of his mother.
'As y'all can see I was not the aggressor,' Pippens said online. 'And y'all also can see how I still had my gun on my hip. He grabbed my gun off my hip following his mom's lead and tried to shoot me and then actually shot me.
'My gun was on my hip and I was trying to protect myself from getting shot,' he explained.

Rapper Lil Durk, has 10 children - five girls and five boys - and has so far not commented on the incident
'I never in a million years thought a kid I bought 4 wheelers and paid for football leagues and everything would do this but he only knows what mom shows him,' Pippens said. 'I still love him like he's mine.'
Pippens suggested that the argument may have been about custody arrangements over a child the couple share.
'Whatever makes y'all feel better. That's why I got custody of my kids and she don't. Y'all so internet think [sic] god it was me that took the shot and not her,' he wrote.
'Listen, nobody is going to jail or they would already be there. I'm doing this for rights over my kids. Call me what y'all want. And on top of that, this was at my momma's, in front of my momma, granny, and more kids. I pray y'all make it through y'all situation that God gon' put y'all through for playing with me,' Pippens added.
