The girl's father was the first to fire the weapon, a mini Uzi 9mm, and then the girl took her turn. With the girl's mother recording, Vacca showed the 9-year-old how to stand and shoot the gun, allowing her to fire a few rounds.
At this point Vacca switched the gun into its automatic setting, according to a deputy who would later view the mother's video.
"(The father) said all of a sudden he heard a lot of rounds fire and saw (his daughter) drop the gun to the ground," the report states.
Range instructor Ross Miller witnessed the incident, and told deputies that he saw the girl start to shoot the weapon, and the recoil sent it straight up into the air and "crossed the path where Charles had his head," the report stated.
Employees immediately started applying pressure to Vacca's head wound and called 911.
Medical personnel arrived and stabilized Vacca before transporting him to the University Medical Center in Las Vegas via helicopter. Vacca passed away shortly thereafter, according to the report.
The girl's parents did not permit investigators to talk to their children because they were "going through a lot," the report states. The man said his family was in shock and they wanted to leave the area and return to Las Vegas, according to the report. The girl's mother allowed investigators to access the video on her cellphone.
Investigators collected evidence from the scene, including the firearm, the magazine and four live rounds. Deputies were instructed to retrieve copies of the release waivers signed by the family, but were told by employees that the waivers had blown away after the incident.
News of Vacca's death sparked a national discussion on gun safety and whether there are ever enough safety precautions in place when an automatic weapon is in the hands of a child.
Prosecutors are not filing charges in the case. Okay, this is the end of the story pretty much. No charges were filed against any of the parties. If there were a law against being stupid and having the poor judgement of multiple adults who should know better then maybe charges would have been filed. I don't want to hear any liberal vs. conservatives in this post because this is not political. If you have comments please feel free to leave them. Thanks for reading.
