Video is ancient, and yes, the father died. There are news articles about it from local sources if you hunt enough. One version of that video, somewhere, has comments from someone claiming to be the kid (older now, of course).

You can't really see it, but the father drops the mag before handing the gun to his son; the chamber was left loaded, however.
