Instructor shot showing girl, 9, how to use an Uzi

A nine-year-old girl accidentally killed an Arizona shooting instructor as he was showing her how to use an automatic Uzi, authorities said.

Charles Vacca, 39, died on Monday shortly after being airlifted to University Medical Centre in Las Vegas, Mohave County sheriff’s officials said.

Mr Vacca was standing next to the girl at the Last Stop outdoor shooting range when she pulled the trigger and the recoil sent the gun over her head, investigators said.
