Girl, Nine, Kills Gun Instructor by Nobody: 2:06pm On Aug 27, 2014 |
A nine year-old girl in the US has killed her shooting instructor by accident while being shown how to use a high-powered submachine gun. The instructor was giving the girl a lesson at a shooting range in Arizona when the recoil from the automatic fire caused her to lose control of the Uzi. Charles Vacca, 39, was shot in the head and died after being airlifted to a hospital in Las Vegas. The girl was at the shooting range with her parents, who filmed the lesson. The footage shows the instructor coaching her as she fires a single shot at a target at the Last Stop shooting range in White Hills, Arizona. The Uzi then appears to be switched to automatic as the girl pulls the trigger and loses her grip of the weapon. The video, edited and released by the Mojave County Sheriff's office, ends abruptly before the instructor is shot. Correspondents say it is common in parts of the US for children to be taught how to use firearms. Many firing ranges have strict safety rules on instructing children. It is not clear what age limits the range has. Source: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-28948946

Oyinbos and their craziness! If it becomes absolutely necessary to teach children how to handle guns, shouldn't the smaller sizes be used? Now this poor little girl is going to live the rest of her life with the horror of knowing she cut short someone else's life. |

Why will a 9 years old girl learn how to shoot? Who does she want to shoot other than her parents when she will be 16 years old because they won't approve of her choice of boyfriend America |

Richhommie: Why should thay use live ammunition for practice. They cud hav used blank bullets. Do you think they're the Nigerian police force that trained their personnel with sticks? |

Its quite ironic, is it not the same America that is campaigning against child soldiers with guns in other parts of the world? Why the hell will you put a sub-machine gun in the hands of a 9 years old girl and not expect the worst to happen. I guess she was even lucky not to have blown her head off with the Uzi. |
