Nine Year Old -US Girl Kills Gun Instructor by Omahwizzy(m): 6:46am On Aug 28, 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, reports the BBC.

I don't understand why a 9 year old should be handed a machine gun of all the toys in the world. It's so crazy.
It's unfortunate the instructor paid the ultimate price with his own life. May his soul rest in peace
Now I'm sure such convention of teaching children how to handle fire arms will have to stop.
