Images show the woman holding what appears to be a gun just yards from her son, who sits in the barbers chair, while other adults, possibly staff, appear to try and console her.

She is reported to have become unsettled by the amount of time it was taking to cut her son's hair.

She then suddenly took a gun out her purse and said: "I got 2 clips. I'll pop you!"
