Authorities have released video of an Arizona weapons instructor teaching a 9-year-old girl how to operate an Uzi just a moment before she fatally shot him.
Charles Vacca, 39, was pronounced dead Monday after being airlifted from the Bullets and Burgers shooting range to a hospital.
The Mohave County Sheriff's Department says the shooting was accidental and occurred when the recoil from the weapon sent bullets spraying over the girl's head, according to The Washington Post.
In video released Tuesday by the department, Vacca is seen showing the girl how to stand and hold the weapon. The child, who is not being named, fires the Uzi in single-shot mode. Vacca then sets the weapon to automatic, keeping his head near the gun as the girl fires.
Now this is tragic.

I heard about this... It was very shortsighted of him...He shouldav known a little girl (or anyone feeble and inexperienced) cant handle the automatic recoil of a gun like that... Pretty messed up for all those affected by this...

Anyone who argues this couldn't have been avoided (talking about you certain gun crazy americans) cleary have some kind of sawdust instead of a brain. Seriously what the hell was the guy thinking giving some small girl a fully automatic smg.

It could be traumatizing even for 22-year-old.

Very sad situation overall. Not sure why a parent would want to let their kid be anywhere near a gun at such a young age. The girl must be forever traumatized.
