An event at a Westfield gun club turned tragic today when an 8-year-old
boy accidentally shot himself in the head and later died at a
Springfield hospital, Westfield Police said.

The child's death -- caused by a fully automatic Uzi machine gun --
appears to have been an accident; but it remains under investigation,
police said.

The Westfield Police Department released a statement about what they
described as a self-inflicted, accidental shooting, which occurred at 2
p.m. at the Westfield Sportsman's Club on Furrowtown Road.

In a telephone interview tonight, Westfield Police Officer Carl Girard
confirmed the boy died of his injuries -- a wound to the right side of
the head -- at Baystate Medical Center. Police did not release the
child's name, nor did they say where he lived. The Springfield
Republican reported that the child was not from Westfield.

"Witnesses state that he was shooting the weapon down range when the
force of the weapon made it travel up and back toward his head, where
he suffered the injury," the police statement read.

The boy’s father was at the event and accompanied him to the hospital, police said.

The sportsman’s club was hosting its annual “Great New England Pumpkin
Shoot” during the weekend, police said. Officials from the club could
not be reached.

The event was organized by C.O.P. Firearms & Training, an Amherst
company which, according to its website, organizes machine gun shoots
throughout New England. Officials from that group also could not be
reached.
