[seoulstice]

An 8-year-old boy has died after accidentally shooting himself in the head while firing an Uzi submachine gun under adult supervision at a gun fair.

CBS station WBZ-TV in Boston reported that Westfield police Lt. Lawrence Valliere said Christopher Bizilj of Ashford, Conn. lost control of the weapon. The incident occured as he was firing it Sunday at the Machine Gun Shoot and Firearms Expo at the Westfield Sportsman's Club.

The boy was with a certified instructor and "was shooting the weapon down range when the force of the weapon made it travel up and back toward his head, where he suffered the injury," a police statement said. They called it a "self-inflicted accidental shooting."

Absolutly tragic and I can't imagine how the family or that "certified instructor" must be feeling.
