SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WWLP-AP) - Prosecutors are dropping involuntary manslaughter charges against two men in connection with the accidental shooting death of eight year-old Christopher Bizilj, after a third defendant was acquitted last week.

The Hampden County District Attorney's office told 22News that they will not be pursuing involuntary manslaughter charges against Domenico Spano of New Milford, Connecticut, and Carl Giuffre of West Hartford, Connecticut.

Special Prosecutor and Former District Attorney William Bennett says in documents filed Tuesday in Hampden Superior Court he doesn't believe prosecuting Domenico Spano of New Milford, Conn., and Carl Giuffre of West Hartford, Conn., is "in the interests of justice."

Bizilj, of Ashford, Conn., died in October 2008 after an Uzi submachine gun he was firing kicked back and shot him in the head at a gun fair at the Westfield Sportsmen's Club. Authorities said that Spano and Giuffre brought machine guns to the event.

A jury on Friday acquitted former Pelham Police Chief Edward Fleury of involuntary manslaughter and furnishing machine guns to minors. Fleury's company co-sponsored the fair.
