The grieving family of the Arizona instructor accidentally shot and killed by a girl learning to fire an Uzi expressed sympathy for the 9-year-old in a nationally televised interview Friday.
Charles Vacca was shot in the head Monday as he showed the New Jersey girl how to fire the Israeli-made 9mm submachine gun. As she pulled the trigger, the gun jumped out of her left hand toward Mr. Vacca killing him. The family of Mr. Vacca is expressing their sympathy for the 9 year old: cnn.it/Y0xcLm
As we pray over this tragedy, we have to also practice common sense when it comes to firearms.
I have to ask why would any parent allow a 9 year old to even practice with such a weapon? Why do some shooting ranges allow children to fire such weapons? a Uzi?
