Summarize this article for a 10 year old
On August 25, 2014, 39-year-old Charles Vacca was accidentally shot and killed while instructing a nine-year-old girl in how to shoot a Mini-Uzi.[1] The accident occurred in Arizona Last Stop gun range (also known as "Bullets and Burgers") in White Hills, Arizona, where Vacca had worked for about 18 months.[2] According to county law officials the shooting is being viewed as an industrial accident.[3] The minimum age set by the shooting range to fire a weapon is eight years old provided that the child is supervised by a parent, as the girl was.[4] It was also legal for Arizona Last Stop to own the fully automatic Uzi because it was manufactured and purchased prior to the passage of the Firearm Owners Protection Act in 1986 and added to the National Firearms Act machine gun registry where all fully automatic civilian owned firearms are registered.[4]
