Looks like a 9mm semiauto (held "dumb@$$ gangsta" style) -- with a hollowpoint round in the chamber -- to me...
I'll bet there is some sort of "unsafe storage of firearms" charge they could add to the charges already against Devlin, too.

OTOH, if the kid did have access to a loaded weapon, why didn't he just shoot the kidnapper and take off for home?
Why don't all abused (seriously abused) women just kill their husbands? It is wrong to kill another human being and these people are being psychologically manipulated. You don't even have to be a child like Shawn to have it happen.
