Arizona Range Shuts Down After Employee Shooting; Family Empathizes With 9 Y/O Shooter
Phoenix, Arizona’s 92.3 FM KATR is reporting that Arizona Last Stop, the gun-themed amusement park (I hesitate to call it a range) is shutting down indefinitely following the death of employee Charles Vacca.
A gun range where an instructor was accidentally shot and killed by a child this week has closed indefinitely.
Charles Vacca, 39, died Monday after he was shot in the head when an Uzi automatic jerked out of the hands of a 9-year-old girl he was teaching at Arizona Last Stop’s range in White Hills, Mohave County.
The range closed after the shooting but customers were still showing up two days later, according to a local news report.
Manager Sam Scarmardo said the site’s policies of allowing children 8 and older to shoot under adult supervision were under review.
Gun safety instructor Craig Cox said it’s hard to know if the girl could have handled the weapon at her age.
I’m going to disagree with Mr. Cox.
