An 8-year-old Connecticut boy has died after accidentally shooting himself in the head while firing an Uzi submachine gun under adult supervision.
Police Lt. Lawrence Valliere says the boy lost control of the weapon as he was firing it Sunday at the Machine Gun Shoot and Firearms Expo at the Westfield Sportsman's Club. Police say the force of the weapon made it "travel up and back" to the boy's head.
Eight year-old Christopher Bizilj, of Ashford, Conn., was taken to Baystate Medical Center where he died.
Law enforcement officials say although the incident appears to be an accident police and the Hampden District Attorney's office are investigating.
Efforts to reach officials with the private club were not immediately successful.

This is so sad and so senseless, a young life taken from something that could have been prevented.

This wasn't any gun. This was a gun on full auto with a kick the kid couldn't handle.
The parents should've known better.
This is pretty god-aweful.
