SPRINGFIELD — Massachusetts prosecutors have dropped involuntary manslaughter charges against two men in connection with the death of an 8-year-old boy who shot himself with an Uzi, after a third defendant was acquitted last week.
A clerk at Hampden Superior Court in Springfield says motions to drop the charges were filed Tuesday in the cases of Domenico Spano of New Milford, Conn., and Carl Giuffre of West Hartford, Conn.
Christopher Bizilj of Ashford died in October 2008 after an Uzi submachine gun he was firing kicked back and shot him in the head at a gun fair in Westfield. Authorities said Spano and Giuffre brought machine guns to the event.
A jury on Friday acquitted former Pelham, Mass., Police Chief Edward Fleury of involuntary manslaughter and
furnishing machine guns to minors. Fleury organized the gun fair.
