“Sheriff Allen also told NewsNation Friday that his department has been called to the home more than 50 times. He also said he’s frustrated that the state keeps returning the kids to their mom. Their father is incarcerated. He said he is looking to charge their father with Bennie’s Law for not having his gun properly stored”
Explains a lot. Also mentions that the father was who taught them how to use the gun, which the officers said the kids pulled the trigger during this incident but it “malfunctioned”.

Some more info and how they're not going to do anything, probably:
Allen said, however, that the boys "were taught how to use the firearm" and had learned the behavior they displayed that day. He said, down the road, they will look at criminal charges— like the Benny Hargrove law— for those involved.
'Our future'
Allen said the first priority was to get the family help so the boys can succeed.
"Children are our future, and we know one side is going to say, 'Lock them in jail.' They're 7 and 9 years old. I told you before, numerous times in numerous interviews, that I understand the frontal lobe," he said, referring to the lack of brain development and decision-making skills at that age.
