TALLAHASEE, Florida -- Police are reviewing body camera footage after a toddler walked toward armed officers with her hands up.

A woman and her daughter recorded the video on Thursday, as police say they received a call about a suspected shoplifter having a gun.

At the sight of the toddler, the officers lowered their weapons and picked up the little girl.
