Girl, 9, accidentially kills instructor in Uzi accident

DEVASTATED. HERE IS THE STORY. A 9-YEAR-OLD GIRL ACCIDENTALLY KILLED HER SHOOTING INSTRUCTOR ON MONDAY WITH A UZI SUB-MACHINE GUN. AND SHERIFF OFFICIALS JUST ANNOUNCED THERE WOULD BE NO CHARGES. WELL? THERE ARE NO CHARGES HERE. WE WILL SHOW THIS VIDEO AT THE GUN RANGE TO HELP YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPENED. YOU SEE HERE THE INSTRUCTOR GIVING THIS GIRL A LESSON. THE GIRL, BY THE WAY, LIVES IN NEW JERSEY. OKAY, ROTATE THIS LEG FORWARD. There you have it, just like that. ALRIGHT. GO AHEAD AND GIVE ME A SHOT. ALRIGHT! SO SAYS THE MOJAVE COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE SECONDS AFTER THAT CLIP, THE GIRL PRESSED THE TRIGGER AGAIN AND THE RECOIL SENT THE GUN OVER HER HEAD, WHERE HER INSTRUCTOR, CHARLES BACA, 39, WAS STANDING.

WHO WAS BEAT AND KILLED. WELL, A 9 YEAR OLD GIRL HAS A UZI IN HER HAND WHEN THEY ARE WITHIN THE CRITERIA SHE IS 8 YEARS OLD TO FIRE GUNS. WE TEACH 5 YEAR OLD CHILDREN AND .22 RIFLES AND THEY DO NOT HANDLE HIGH FIREARMS BUT UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF THEIR PARENTS AND OUR PROFESSIONAL RANK TEACHER. I HAVE A LOT OF CHESS JEAN CASAREZ. LET'S FIRST START WITH WHAT WE KNOW. WE EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT AFTER THE BACKPASS WENT OVER HIS HEAD AND HIT HIM, THAT'S WHAT TOOK HIM DOWN. RIGHT. AND LET ME ADD TO THAT, BECAUSE THE BALLISTICS EXPERT I'VE BEEN TALKING TO SAYS THIS IS A SUB-MACHINE GUN.

AND WHEN YOU PUSH THE TRIGGER, AS IT IS AUTOMATIC, THE BULLETS COME OUT ONE AFTER ANOTHER. AND THE Recoil, which means it recoils when you shoot it. AND SHE JUST LOST CONTROL OF THE GUN. IT LOOKS LIKE THINKING. BUT I THINK WHAT IS INTERESTING IS THIS OUTDOOR SHOOTING RANGE. THIS IS AN OUTDOOR SHOOTING RANGE NEAR THE HOOVER DAM, NEAR LAKE MEAD, OUTSIDE OF LAS VEGAS. THEY SPECIALIZE IN SHOOTING MACHINE GUNS AND SPECIAL WEAPONS. SO WHEN YOU GO THERE, AS A FAMILY, AND YOU TAKE YOUR CHILD, YOU KNOW WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO SHOOT. THIS IS THE QUESTION THAT WAS AT LEAST FIRST IN MY MIND, HOW CAN YOU HAVE A 9 YEAR OLD GIRL?

I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND, GUN RIGHTS, YOU CAN FIRE A GUN LEGALLY. BUT AT 9? IS IT BIG ENOUGH, STRONG ENOUGH, HIGH ENOUGH? SHE LOOKS VERY FRAGILE, RIGHT? AND THAT WOULD BE FOR A WEAPONS EXPERT. WHAT YOU ARE LEADING TO IS THAT THERE ARE GUNS FOR CHILDREN. THERE ARE GUNS FOR CHILDREN. REMEMBER, BB GUNS? A UZI? BUT THIS IS A SUB-MACHINE GUN. AND SO WITHOUT CHARGES. WE JUST LEARNED, NO CHARGES. WE JUST CONFIRMED THAT THERE WILL BE NO CHARGES IN THIS CASE, ACCORDING TO THE MOJAVE COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT. NOW IT WILL BE AN OSHA INVESTIGATION, WHICH TRADITIONALLY, BROOKE, IS WORKPLACE ACCIDENTS.

AND BECAUSE OF THIS INSTRUCTOR, CHARLES VACCA, WHO DIED AT THE AGE OF 39, WE BELIEVE HE IS A YOUNG MARRIED MAN. HE WAS AN EMPLOYEE. AND THEREFORE THIS WOULD BE CLASSIFIED AS A WORKPLACE MURDER, SHOOTING. DID YOU COVER A SIMILAR CASE IN 2006? THERE WAS A CASE IN MASSACHUSETTS IN 2008. IT WAS A GUN SHOW. AND IT WAS A KID WHO WAS SHOOTING WITH A UZI, THE SAME THING. AND HE SHOT AND KILLED HIMSELF. AND THE MAN WHO ORGANIZED THE GUN SHOW WAS CHARGED, NOT HIS FATHER WHO WAS RECORDING IT. AND BY THE WAY, SOMEONE VIDEOTAPE THIS GIRL IN ARIZONA.

WE BELIEVE IT COULD HAVE BEEN HIS FAMILY. BUT WHAT WAS A SHOOTING SPORTSMAN TYPE EVENT IS NOW BEING VIDEO RECORDED. THE REASONS WHY WE DON'T DO IT
