The incident occurred when the little girl shot the weapon in "fully automatic mode" and due to her inexperience and weak wrist, she lost control. The gun tilted over her left shoulder, killing the instructor who was standing beside her.
The instructor, 39-year-old Charles Vacca, received multiple shoots to the head and was airlifted to a medical centre in Las Vegas where he was confirmed dead later that night.
During investigations, the Police identified the weapon as an Uzi, (An Israeli-made submachine-gun) wasn't the first fatal accident involving a child and an Uzi.
The Tragic scenario brought back sad memories when in 2008, an 8-year-old boy accidentally shot himself with a micro Uzi during a gun show.
