DOLAN SPRINGS, Ariz. (AP) - Authorities say a shooting instructor accidentally shot in the head by a 9-year-old girl has died.

Mohave County Sheriff's officials say 39-year-old Charles Vacca, of Lake Havasu City, died Monday after he was shot at the Last Stop shooting outdoor range in White Hills.

Sheriff's officials say Vacca was airlifted to the University Medical Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.

According to investigators, Vacca was standing next to the girl while he was instructing her how to use an automatic Uzi when the accident happened. Authorities say the girl pulled the trigger and the recoil sent the gun over her head and the victim was shot.

Deputies say the girl was at the shooting range with her parents.

9 year old.

Uzi.

Shooting lessons.



I just feel really bad for the girl. She has to live with the guilt of murder for the rest of her life because three adults thought it was okay for a child to shoot with a damn uzi. Give that bitch a Barbie doll, not a gun.

Had to be Arizona, too. These damn red states.

Okay, NOW can you guys please get some goddamn gun control.

Always a good idea to give an inexperienced child a gun bigger than her that adult men sometimes have trouble handling. Brilliant. I feel bad for his family and everything, but seriously if you're okay giving a child lessons with a fucking uzi you kind of deserve what happens. I hope the girl is already talking to counselors, because I can't believe her parents would be any help to her mental health given those actions.

Can we please just go back to children playing with water guns?

Murica...

I feel so sorry for the little girl, she'll have to grow up with the fact that and live with the fact that she killed someone.

So stupid though, a 9 year old girl shouldn't be using guns like that.
