A New Mexico sheriff's office is defending its decision not to arrest two young boys, ages 7 and 9, seen in drone footage in an armed standoff with deputies.Video released Thursday by the Bernalillo County Sheriffs Office (BCSO) shows the two boys dressed in Minecraft and Star Wars-themed pajamas standing behind a covered air-conditioning unit and carrying a loaded handgun.In the nearly six minutes of footage shared, the children are seen looking around as if they are trying to avoid detection and capture. Eventually, the boys are surrounded and detained by deputies. "This case illustrates the complex intersection of juvenile crime, mental health, and public safety," Sheriff John Allen said in a statement. "We are taking important steps to close service gaps and expand our ability to work with juveniles involved in firearms or violent crimes."NEW MEXICO SUPREME COURT BANS JUDGE AFTER ALLEGED TDA MEMBER ARRESTED AT HOMEThe incident took place on Feb. 16 but was highlighted on Thursday while BCSO showcased the work of its behavioral health unit and "a new initiative designed to address critical service gaps in the community," according to a press release.Allen said his department had been called to the home of the incident dozens of times prior to the standoff due to problems with the boys and their families, the Albuquerque Journal reported, adding that it is not known how the boys got the gun. NEW MEXICO JUDGE RESIGNS AFTER ALLEGED TDA MEMBER ARRESTED AT HIS HOMEThe newspaper said no charges have been filed against the boys and that they have not been removed from their home, although the gun seen in the video was seized."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," Allen said, according to the Albuquerque Journal.Members of the department's behavioral health unit are in contact with the boys' families "providing every recourse possible to assist the children involved," a BCSO sergeant told Fox News Digital.BCSO said its drone "allowed deputies to secure the area swiftly and safely, ultimately preventing a potential deadly force encounter with the juveniles."

New York Times columnist David Brooks urged former President Joe Biden not to fight an "old battle" during a conversation on Friday after Biden returned to the public eye this week.Brooks told PBS NewsHour that if Joe Biden ever called him to ask what he should do with his post-presidency, he would tell the former president to "be post-political, rise above it and don't get back in, don't try to fight old battle."Biden spoke to BBC and "The View" this week after the 2024 election, blaming former Vice President Kamala Harris' loss on sexism and racism. He also answered questions about his alleged cognitive decline and maintained that he could have beaten Trump.PBS NewsHour host Geoff Bennett also asked Brooks if there was any strategic value in saying that he would have beaten the sitting president following his former VP's failed attempt.AGE-OLD SENIORITY QUESTION DIVIDES DEMOCRATS AS BIDEN RETURNS TO NATIONAL SPOTLIGHT"You know, I think he's empirically wrong about that. Kamala Harris ran about as good a campaign as she could. She was saddled with the Biden legacy, an unpopular presidency. Biden would have been saddled by that legacy in addition to his age. So, you take those two factors, it's hard to see how he wins," Brooks said.During the interview, the former president pushed back on criticism that Harris didn't have enough time to run an effective campaign, alleging that she had six months to do so. The former vice president had around 90 days."But, he's a proud man with a chip on his shoulder who feels himself under attack, frankly, in the Democratic Party and the Republican Party, and so he wants to stand up for himself," he continued.The New York Times columnist also suggested Biden should avoid the partisan mud.BIDEN BLASTS TRUMP AS FOOLISH APPEASER OF RUSSIA, SAYS FIRST 100 DAYS WERE NO TRIUMPHCLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURE"I would only counsel him as someone who's a longtime admirer of Joe Biden, is that what we want from our presidents is not more politics. What we want from our presidents is somebody who's post-politics, who can speak to us from a higher level, not in the partisan mud. And Jimmy Carter did that. I think George W. Bush has done that through his painting," he said.When pressed by "The View" co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin on several allegations of cognitive decline in multiple new books on the 2024 election, Biden and his wife, former first lady Jill Biden, fired back."They are wrong," he said. "Theres nothing to sustain that, number one. Number two, you know, think of what we left with. We left with a circumstance where we had an insurrection when I started, not since the Civil War. We had a circumstance where we were in a position that we well, the pandemic, because of the incompetence of the last outfit, end up over a million people dying, a million people dying. And were also in a situation where we found ourselves unable to deal with a lot of just basic issues, which I wont go into in the interest of time. And so we went to work, and we got it done and, you know, one of the things that well, Im"The former first lady then jumped in and said, "one of the things I think is that the people who wrote those books were not in the White House with us.""And they didnt see how hard Joe worked every single day. I mean, hed get up. Hed put in a full day, and then at night he would Id be in bed, you know, reading my book, and he was still on the phone, reading his briefings. Working with staff. I mean, it was nonstop," Jill Biden said.

Five fishermen missing since mid-March were rescued at sea last week, surviving 55 days adrift in the Pacific Ocean by drinking rain and seawater, the Ecuadorian navy said.The three Peruvian and two Colombian fishermen were found on May 7 by an Ecuadorian tuna boat called Aldo. The navy said the fishermen had reported damage to their boats alternator two days after setting sail from Pucusana Bay, south of Perus capital Lima.Ecuadorian navy Frigate Capt. Maria Fares told The Associated Press that the equipment failure caused communication and navigation tools to malfunction."They had no starter, lights and everything that a battery generates," she said. To survive, they had to "take rusted water out of the engine (and) when a fish passed by, they caught it and parboiled it to eat."Fares added that they also drank rain and seawater to survive.PERUVIAN FISHERMAN FOUND ALIVE AFTER 95 DAYS AT SEA REVEALS HOW HE SURVIVEDThe men are in stable condition and the navy said it is coordinating with local and foreign authorities to ensure their safe return to their respective countries.Earlier this year, another Peruvian fisherman was found alive after spending 95 days adrift in thePacific Ocean, saying he survived on roaches, birds and sea turtles.The Associated Press contributed to this report.

The Cleveland Browns surprised everyone when they drafted Oregons Dillon Gabriel with their third-round pick, while Shedeur Sanders continued to fall down the NFL Draft board.Perhaps an even bigger surprise was when Sanders was taken by the franchise two rounds later, creating a packed quarterbacks room with Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett also vying for the starting job.With Sanders garnering the national spotlight, Gabriel has been in his new teammate's shadow in terms of coverage.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMBut the Heisman Trophy finalist gave the perfect answer to Cleveland-area reporters at rookie minicamp when asked how it feels to have Sanders as a teammate. "I love it," Gabriel replied on Saturday. "You know, I love it because of who it is. I think just for us both, you can learn from one another. But also, its not just us two in the room. At least for now [during rookie minicamp] it is, but, you know, going into the year, Kenny, Joe and even Deshaun [Watson], just a bunch of guys who played a bunch of ball that we can all learn from one another."SHEDEUR SANDERS TRULY THANKFUL FOR DONALD TRUMP'S SUPPORT DURING HISTORIC NFL DRAFT SLIDEWatson doesnt figure to be in the running to play at all this season after reinjuring his Achilles during rehab last season.Gabriel was asked about NFL fans who are already comparing his reps at rookie minicamp to Sanders, and another proper team-first answer was the result."I think the more questions I get asked like that, it just divides the team," he said. "For me, were in a room full of not just us Kenny, Joe and Deshaun. For us, we know how important a healthy QB room is. But also, a team that you want to be a part of."How do you create an environment every single day where everybody can be their best? Thats just pushing one another, which talent naturally does. Naturally, its healthy. For us, we all go do our thing and everyone wins."Just as Sanders acknowledged the quarterback competition thats surely to be a top NFL storyline this preseason, Gabriel knows hes going to have to be at his best if he wishes to get the starting job come Week 1."I only know one way to prepare," Gabriel said. "I only know one way to work, and that is as the starter. You know, Ive played a bunch of ball and have a lot of experience, so Im going to use that to my advantage."As of now, its likely Flaccos job to lose heading into training camp, given his history with head coach Kevin Stefanskis offense. Just two seasons ago, Flacco literally came off the couch and ran Stefanskis offense into the playoffs, a miraculous feat that won him Comeback Player of the Year. Stefanski was awarded Coach of the Year.But the comparisons and criticism between Gabriel and Sanders only seems natural at this point because of how linked they are after this years draft.
