A Los Alamos teen is receiving some unwanted attention after a video of him pointing a gun at another teen recently surfaced online.

The video was obtained by KOB Eyewitness News 4, and it shows one teen pointing a gun at another teen wearing a red shirt and yelling orders at him.

There are other teens in the room, and they too are yelling at the teen in the red shirt, who appears to be scared. KOB also reported that the teen in the red shirt is autistic.

The alleged victim’s mother notified police Jan. 16 that she saw the video on the social media site Facebook and was very concerned.

The video apparently took place in the bedroom of a home and it showed the teen with the gun telling the alleged victim to bend down and kiss his feet.

“Watch him, get on your knees and kiss my shoes,” said the teen with the gun.

The other teens then joined in.

“Oh dude, you better kiss his shoe, dude,” one teen said.

The alleged victim told police he did not notify police right away about what happened because he was “scared and embarrassed about what happened.”

Police tracked down the offender at Los Alamos High School and charged the 15-year-old with aggravated assault and conspiracy.

George M Hrbek, 21, of Los Alamos was cited by police for driving through a red light at the intersection of Diamond Drive and Canyon Road Monday. His car reportedly hit another car turning left onto Diamond from Canyon. There were no injuries, but medics from the Los Alamos Fire Department checked both drivers just to be sure.

... WINTER STORM TO IMPACT CENTRAL AND EASTERN NEW MEXICO SUNDAY AND MONDAY...

The Los Alamos branch of the Civil Air Patrol played host to at least 10 other New Mexico-based squadrons Saturday, all in an effort to improve the New Mexico CAP’s safety and search techniques.At least several times a year, the state’s CAP squadrons collaborate on joint emergency exercises centering on a specific theme or goal.

In this weekend’s exercise, the squadrons carried out an assessment exercise. Their task was to document the area geography in the wake of a disastrous rainstorm, complete with washed out bridges, roads, dams and phone lines.

“In this simulation we’re going through, the majority of Los Alamos has no power. We have open fires to the north, because we have damaged buildings and because they tried to restore the power they caught on fire,” Incident Commander Lloyd Voight explained. “We also have aircraft in the air checking road networks as well as looking for a lost church group that was hiking somewhere north of Los Alamos.”

To Voight and others monitoring the situation, though, no one was in any real danger, it still wasn’t taken lightly.
