‘We Pray For You’: Children Of Gun Instructor Killed In Tragic Accident Offer Powerful Message Of Love


Late last month, shooting instructor Charles Vacca was tragically killed after a nine-year- girl lost control of the automatic weapon he was showing her how to use. The 39-year-old father of four was an instructor at the Last Stop outdoor shooting range in White Hills, Arizona. Less than a month after the tragic accident, Vacca’s children have released an incredible message of love and forgiveness to the nine-year-old girl.

“Today we bring you a story of something that you never think of being good. Out of the ashes grow the roses of success,” Glenn said on radio this morning. “This is one of the most tragic things ever, not just for the man, not just for the man’s family, but for the little girl. She will forever carry [that] around.”

The Vacca family’s attorneys – Marc Lamber and James Goodnow of Fennemore Craig – released the video message from the children late last week.

Wow, what a statement that tells you what a wonder father/man he was to have children like this. God, smile down on them and the 9 year old. Bless you all. map

He was a poor instructor in letting a 9 year old try and fire that weapon.

I was going to say the same thing. He even put himself in harms way when a good instructor wouldn't have. Rest his soul and may God comfort his children.

I hope this video wasn't a stunt for more national attention. It could have been done face to face and not so that a million people could see it on video.
