Officials: 9-Year-Old Girl Who Killed Instructor Said Uzi Was Too Powerful

The 9-year-old girl who accidentally shot and killed her instructor at an Arizona gun range said the gun was too powerful for her after firing it, according to reports released by police on Tuesday and reviewed by the Associated Press.

The AP reported that the girl complained of shoulder pain after the incident and her family was so focused on her being injured from the gun’s recoil that they didn’t notice her instructor had been shot. A coworker rushed over to the shooting instructor, Charles Vacca, before the girl’s family realized what had occurred.
