As his father raised his camera, an 8-year-old boy aimed an Uzi at a pumpkin set up at a shooting event. Before his father could focus, the third-grader from Connecticut squeezed the trigger, and the high-powered weapon recoiled and fatally shot the boy in the head.

In a telephone interview yesterday, the boy's father, Dr. Charles Bizilj, said he stood 10 feet behind his son as a professional trained in using the 9-mm Micro Uzi machine gun stood beside the boy on Sunday afternoon. He said he doesn't think the shooting instructor was holding the weapon as his son pressed the trigger, as guides did with other children firing the weapon.

The Uzi was the first gun the boy had fired all day. "It was something he was looking forward to for months," Bizilj said.

Outside the gates of the club yesterday, Fran Mitchell, a member since 1956, said, "Everybody is shaken up."

He said the bullet struck the boy's lower jaw. He did not see the shooting but said he watched as the boy was taken away. "He was crying, he was still awake.
