A boy from Westfield, MA accidentally killed himself with an Uzi. While an instructor at a gun fair was watching, 8-year old Christopher Biziljat aimed an Uzi at a pumpkin and pulled the trigger as his dad reached for a camera.
Christopher lost control and fatally shot himself in the head.
Now gun safety experts and some gun enthusiasts are wondering why such a young child was allowed to fire a weapon used in war. Local, state and federal authorities are also investigating whether everyone involved had proper licenses or if anyone committed a criminal act.
Christoper, a third grader, was attending the show his father and sixth-grade brother, Colin. He had fired handguns and rifles before, but Sunday was his only time firing an automatic weapon, said his father, Charles Biziljat.
What a horrifying story. R.I.P. Christopher.
