美国9岁女童练枪竟误杀教练

　　Authorities have released video of an Arizona weapons instructor teaching a 9-year-old girl how to operate an Uzi just a moment before she fatally shot him。

　　美国亚利桑那州一名乌兹冲锋枪教练在教一名9岁女孩操作冲锋枪时，因女孩操作失误被其击毙。官方已公布当时的录像。

　　Charles Vacca, 39, was pronounced dead Monday after being airlifted from the Bullets and Burgers shooting range to a hospital。

　　周一，39岁的查尔斯·维卡从这个名叫“汉堡与子弹”的射击场被直升机送到医院后抢救无效而身亡。

　　The Mohave County Sheriff's Department says the shooting was accidental and occurred when the recoil from the weapon sent bullets spraying over the girl's head, according to The Washington Post。

　　据华盛顿邮报的消息，莫哈维县警方称这个意外发生在女孩扣动扳机、枪体的反冲力将武器冲向她头顶的时候。

　　In video released Tuesday by the department, Vacca is seen showing the girl how to stand and hold the weapon. The child, who is not being named, fires the Uzi in single-shot mode. Vacca then sets the weapon to automatic, keeping his head near the gun as the girl fires。

　　通过周二公布的视频可以看到，维卡正在向女孩示范如何站立及如何拿枪。这个未透漏名字的女孩朝目标开了一枪。之后维卡将枪设置成自动模式，在女孩开枪的时候他的头离枪很近。

　　“The guy just dropped,” Sheriff Jim McCabe told the Las Vegas Review-Journal。

　　“他随即就倒下了。”警长吉姆·麦卡比对拉斯维加斯评论报说。

　　On his Facebook page, Vacca's posts ranged from pictures of his target practice to pro-gun rhetoric。

　　在维卡的Facebook主页上，他曾经发布的内容有打靶练习的图片，也有打枪前后的一些心情。
