Mohave County Sheriff’s deputies responded to an accidental shooting at an outdoor shooting range Monday morning, August 25, 2014. Deputies responded to the Last Stop shooting range, located at 20606 North Highway 93 in White Hills. Investigations determined a 9-year-old girl accidentally shot a gun instructor in the head. The instructor, 39-year-old Charles Vacca was airlifted to a medical center in Las Vegas, Nevada and was pronounced dead Monday evening at the University Medical Center at 8:56 PM. The girl was at the business with her parents.
Police said that Vacca was standing next to the girl while he was instructing her how to use the weapon when the accident happened. Further investigations determined the girl pulled the trigger on the automatic Uzi, the recoil sent the gun over her head and the victim was shot.
The autopsy will be performed by the Clark County Medical Examiner’s Office in Nevada.
