A firearms instructor has died after he was shot by a nine-year-old girl when she fired an Uzi at a shooting range in the Arizona desert.
Mohave County sheriff’s officials said 39-year-old Charles Vacca, of Lake Havasu City, Arizona, died at the hospital on Monday after he was shot at the Last Stop outdoor shooting range.
Mohave County Sheriff Jim McCabe told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that Vacca was standing next to the girl when she pulled the trigger. The gun recoiled and it went over her head.
The paper reported that the girl had successfully fired the 9mm weapon several times in “single-shot” mode before Vacca changed the setting to “fully automatic” mode.

Just doesn’t sound like a good idea to let a nine year old shoot an Uzi.
Hey idjot! I have a hard time controlling a full auto weapon.
Don’t give one to a 9 year old without helping them keep it under control.
Instructor should have anticipated the climb and prepared the 9 year for it. Sad for both.
Who in their right mind would allow a 9 year old to fire a submachine gun?
Anyone that takes a casual approach and no protective enclosure when giving a 9 year old a weapon set to full automatic doesn’t understand children’s abilities, physics or firearms.
A little late on the advise, yes?
“Doesn’t sound like a good idea to let a nine year old shoot an Uzi.”.
They had better have a damn good reason for letting that kid handle such a weapon. Someone got real careless.
More fodder for the grabbers.

An AR in full auto is pretty controllable, but you can’t hit **** with it. Flip it to semi auto and its on the money.
Fughed about an AK 47 or an AR 10.
Theonly full auto I have seen that anyone(Adults) can keep on target is the FS PS90.
He knew.
He was an idiot to give somebody so young, and obviously not strong enough, a weapon set to automatic.
I believe this happened once before when somebody let a young child fire an UZI. It climbed up and shot either the kid or the instructor in the head.
How friggin stupid!
Full auto is far too hard to control...it will walk up on you.
At nine I’d say stick with a 22 single-shot rifle.
>>Theonly full auto I have seen that anyone(Adults) can keep on target is the FS PS90.
An MP5 with the shoulder stock is like shooting an Airsoft gun.
Will there be a murder charge if the girl is white and the victim is Black?
South Side of Chicago?
