Authorities are considering whether criminal charges should be filed in the death of an 8-year-old boy who accidentally shot himself with an Uzi submachine gun at a US gun show.
Hampden County District Attorney William Bennett said Tuesday he hasn't been able to find any law that would authorize a child to possess or fire a machine gun.
Christopher Bizilj was trying out one of the weapons at the Westfield Sportsman's Club on Sunday when he lost control, shooting himself in the head.
An instructor was watching the boy at a firing range and the youngster's father was a few feet away.
Bennett says he's looking into whether anyone committed a reckless or wanton act when they allowed the boy to fire the weapon.
