DCFS came to the Jackson family house in Encino last night at around 10:30 after someone told them that Jaafar ordered the gun. Randy Jackson said that the gun was delivered to the house 3 weeks ago -- but was intercepted by security.
Katherine Jackson's lawyer, Adam Streisand, said that Katherine took control of the gun and locked it up. Sources report that DCFS took the gun away last night.
Streisand reported to TMZ that two people from DCFS conducted interviews last night at the house. They spoke with Katherine and some of the children. Michael Jackson's three kids live at the home, along with some of their cousins.
Both Randy and Streisand told TMZ none of the children ever got hold of the gun.
UPDATE: Katherine Jackson's lawyer, Adam Streisand, confirmed that DCFS was at the house last night and that "Mrs. Jackson is doing the utmost to safeguard the welfare of her grandchildren." He says it's "normal" for DCFS to come back and do a follow-up.
UPDATE: According to TMZ reports, multiple sources say the stun gun that Jermaine Jackson's 13-year-old son purchased was actually used by the children in the house ... and Michael Jackson's son, Blanket was an intended target.
TMZ is reporting and apparently confirmed that the children at the Jackson home were playing with the gun last week.
TMZ reports say the kids were using the gun on the second floor of the house. Security guards on the property were perplexed because they couldn't figure out where the noise was coming from ... nor could they identify the sound.
Late last week, TMZ reported that one of the security guards went upstairs and "stopped Jermaine's kids from stunning Blanket." The guard confiscated the gun.
As previously reported two DCFS social workers interviewed Katherine and several of the kids and confiscated Jaafar's stun gun.
Sources such as TMZ say the kids have a second stun gun that DCFS did not recover and it is somewhere on the property.
DCFS is going back to the house today for further investigation. TMZ reports say DCFS considers this "a very serious situation."
UPDATE: 8:39PM EST
The Jackson family has released a statement about the stun gun incident which triggered an investigation by the L.A. County DCFS:
According to the statement, issued by Katherine Jackson's lawyer Adam Streisand, Jermaine's 13-year-old son Jaafar ordered a gun online and it was delivered to the Jackson family home two weeks ago in Encino. The statement says the gun was a "taser." Other sources say it was a stun gun. Streisand says Jaafar opened the package alone in his bathroom and "tested it on a piece of paper." According to the statement, Mrs. Jackson and security heard the sound coming from the second floor and confiscated the "taser."
The statement continues saying that Katherine removed the "taser" from the house. TMZ reported that a stun gun was at the house last night when social workers from DCFS confiscated it.
Here's some of the discrepancies in this statement: Streisand says there was only one gun. Other sources say some of the employees on the property will tell DCFS there were two guns.
Streisand says neither Blanket nor Paris saw or heard the "taser." Other sources say some of the employees will tell DCFS Jaafar was in the same room with Blanket and Paris and pointed a stun gun at them.
Streisand says, "All of the kids are happy, healthy and wonderful and that is Mrs. Jackson's only objective and concern."
UPDATE: Jermaine Jackson has finally admitted that his son, Jaafar Jackson, purchased a "little thing" online recently ... but Jermaine claims his child never used it on Michael Jackson's son, Blanket. Jermaine just gave to Dutch TV's "rt(4)," in which Jackson never explained what the "little thing" was.
