Its lucky others besides the kid didn't get hit. Things were out of control , that gun could have fired in any direction before and after the kid got hit.

I've seen Uzi's and Mack 10's many a time where they didn't belong. To me , that's something that should only come out when the most experienced guys are together. Maybe a demo with only a pro handling the weapon but never should it get put into a case where anybody who wants can just step up and fire it.

As was said , lots of stupid around that day. I think many people , not just the father , will have a lot of regrets about the part they played that day.

I was a few days shy of my 11th birthday the first time I fired a 22. It was a very organized session at the Boys Scout camp. I'll swear ther were more adults supervising the action than kids shooting . It was all formal "ready on the left"... "ready on the right" etc. Total respect for the weapons was being taught. This business of letting kids just walk up and try a few shots is not the way to do things.
