She's lucky she wasn't hurt physically, but the emotional wounds will last a lifetime.

This is not the first fatal accident involving a child and an Uzi. A 2008 incident at a gun show resulted in the death of the child, not the idiot who gave him the Uzi:

During the gun show, 8-year-old Christopher Bizilj was firing the micro Uzi when he accidentally shot himself in the head. He died instantly.
...
Christopher's father, Charles Bizilj, was present at the time of the shooting and videotaped the entire incident.
