DOLAN SPRINGS, Ariz. – A 9-year-old girl accidentally killed an Arizona shooting instructor as he was showing her how to use an automatic Uzi, authorities said Tuesday.

Charles Vacca, 39, of Lake Havasu City, died Monday shortly after being airlifted to University Medical Center in Las Vegas, Mohave County sheriff's officials said.

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 gun over her head, investigators said.

Authorities said the girl was at the shooting range with her parents. Her name was not released.

A woman who answered the phone at the shooting range said it had no comment. She did not provide her name.

It is not known if the range had an age limit on shooting or if the girl was going through a safety class.

Ronald Scott, a Phoenix-based firearms safety expert, said most shooting ranges have an age limit and strict safety rules when teaching children to shoot. He said instructors usually have their hands on guns when children are firing high-powered weapons.

"You can't give a 9-year-old an Uzi and expect her to control it," Scott said.

Why does Florida get all the shit for being crazy? Arizona has a mean streak to it that leads to things like trying to teach nine-year-olds how to fire an Uzi. Probably so can no one can take what's theirs!

Yeah I just saw this. I'd probably have to DB the parents of the girl as well. Who thinks letting a 9 year old girl shoot an Uzi is a good idea?

Went to (suburban) Detroit for the holidays as the GF is from there. Went on Groupon to see if there was anything interesting to do. Shooting ranges were quite popular. OK makes sense, Detroit is one of the forefathers of white people being terrified of balcks. Said why the heck not and bought one. Upon presenting the groupon they put a gun, pack of bullets and headphones in a grocery basket and directed me to the range. Not sure why I didn't expect this but after going through 2 doors you're in a loud enclosed area with 15 other people shooting various guns. I'm good with never doing that again. Ever.

I have no problems with shooting guns or ranges, but I do have a problem when people are idiotic in the handling of firearms. Putting a Uzi in a 9 year olds hands by whoever's decision it was, is idiotic.

So the mantra should be, "Guns don't kill people, 9 year-old girls do. Ban 9 year-old girls!"
