The 9-year-old girl who accidentally shot and killed an Arizona gun range instructor last week while he was teaching her how to fire an Uzi said the automatic weapon was "too much for her."

The tragic accident occurred last Monday while the girl and her New Jersey family were on vacation in Las Vegas and decided to visit the Bullets and Burgers outdoor gun range at Arizona Last Stop property in White Hills, reports AZ Central.

Charles Vacca, 39, was showing the little girl how to use an Uzi when the child lost control of the Israeli-made submachine gun.

"Vacca was standing next to the girl while he was instructing her how to use to 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," states a news release, according to CBS affiliate KLAS-TV.

The veteran died in a hospital later that evening.

The girl's parents, who have been identified as Alex Gen and Alison MacLachlan, released a video filmed during their daughter's tutorial session that recorded the moments leading up to the fatal accident, reports the Associated Press. In the video, the girl fires several rounds in rapid succession before she loses control and the gun shifts to the left.

According to a Mohave County Sheriff's Office report released Tuesday, the father said that the little girl told her mother that the powerful weapon hurt her shoulder immediately after the incident.

"It appeared that (the girl) was injured as she was holding her shoulder," reads the statement, according to NBC News.

"(The mother) was visibly upset and shaken," the report reads. She said "the gun went off and saw (her daughter) drop the gun. (The girl) turned to her and told her the gun was too much for her and it hurt her shoulder. (The mother) said no one knew Vacca was shot until the other instructor ran over."

The report also states that the father "immediately brought his family to the restaurant so his children would not see what happened."

At the time of the incident, children between the ages of 8 and 17 were permitted to shoot a weapon at the gun range when accompanied by a parent or guardian. However, the range has changed its policy and now requires shooters to be at least 5 feet tall or 12 years old.
