Video: Moments Before 9-Year-Old Accidentally Shoots Instructor With Uzi

Posted by | August 27, 2014 11:32 | Filed under: News Behaving Badly Politics Top Stories


A video was released by Mohave Sheriffs officials showing that moment just before a 9-year-old girl accidentally shot a gun instructor in the head at a shooting range.

39-year-old Charles Vacca died after being shot in the head with a 9 mm Uzi by the girl.

Vacca instructs the girl on how to properly stand while shooting the weapon. She fires a single-shot, then he congratulates her.

Vacca is seen in the video adjusting the gun and saying,”Alright, full auto.”

According to authorities, the girl pulled the trigger and the recoil send the gun over her head when the gun was in automatic-mode. The video does not show the instructor being shot in the head. It does show what took place just before that moment.

    I had an instructor come to teach my boyscout troop to shoot BB guns and another to teach archery, and another to teach first aid, I took them camping and taught them to lay a campfire and do woodworking and every other thing there was a badge for but one day they decided that a den mother was not good enough and that I could not even chaperone them any more.

    They ‘gave’ my troop to some strange man who did not even live in our area and the first thing he did was waltz in and tell them was that he was going to let them shoot REAL guns!

    ALL of the boys quit scouting that night! They told their mothers that the guy gave them the creeps and they were not going anywhere with him.

    He was an NRA instructor.

    We picked up our meetings the next week with a trip to the State Fair without the boyscout uniforms, not one of those parents tried to make their son go with that guy.

    Kids are smarter than people give them credit for, the problem is that stupid people tend to expose their kids to even stupider people and that is when the trouble comes in.

    That was 20 years ago and I am still proud of those boys!

    I suspect this incident will be so traumatic for the 9-year-old girl that she will never pick up a gun again the rest of her life.

    What is it going to take to convince the gun advocates that there needs to be some restrictions on who is able to own and shoot a gun?

    Yeah if this is real whose videotaping this?
    Why isn’t the instructor holding the powerful gun to help her shoot?
    Someone needs to be held accountable!
