Girl Accidentally Kills Gun Instructor With Uzi

[Del]

Police have released footage of the moments before a nine-year-old girl accidentally shot and killed her shooting instructor who was teaching her to use an automatic Uzi submachine gun.
Charles Vacca was shot in the head on Monday at an outdoor shooting range in Dolan Springs, in north Arizona.

The 39-year-old was airlifted to University Medical Centre in Las Vegas but died shortly afterwards.
Mr Vacca was standing next to the girl at the Last Stop outdoor shooting range in White Hills when she pulled the trigger and the recoil sent the weapon over her head, investigators said.

The footage, reportedly filmed by the girl's parents, shows Mr Vacca helping the girl hold the gun, adjust her stance and then fire a single shot.
His last words to her are: "Alright, full auto."

Regardless of the country this happened in, this will be horrific for the girl, who now has to live with having killed someone.

Not a very responsible instructor if he thought giving a 9 yo girl an Uzi was a good idea though. I'd say most of the blame lies at his own door, or grave anyway, and the girls' parents for allowing it.

Sad all round.

Guns don't kill people, 9 year olds do.

Who in their right mind would allow and encourage a 9 year old girl to shoot a gun, let alone an Uzi?

you don't see the fatal shot in the video, he was kind of helping her hold it I'm wondering if the instructor sensed it was going wrong and gave her arm a slight tug to deflect it away from the childs head. He seemed good with the kid so i imagine he would rather have taken the bullet than let anything happen to her.

Still, guns and children, not sensible, 9? for goodness sake.

I think your bottom line nails it.

Obviously gun law is a raw subject for some, but putting that argument aside, kids and guns shouldn't be mixed at all, ever.

Madness.

Without wanting to state the obvious, why on Earth give a 9 year old a Mini Uzi?
