The family of a gun instructor who was accidentally shot and killed by a 9-year-old girl at a shooting range filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the gun range.

The lawsuit brought by family members of 39-year-old Charles Vacca claims Bullets and Burgers Corp acted negligently during the incident.

The shooting happened at an outdoor shooting range at the Last Stop in White Hills, AZ, near the Nevada-Arizona border.

Vacca was showing the girl how to fire a 9 mm automatic Uzi submachine gun when the girl couldn't handle the recoil and lost control of the gun, investigators said. The gun turned toward Vacca, who was shot in the head.
