The Uzis once imported into the US were technically semiautomatic carbines. But it is possible to convert one of these guns to full auto, and it is possible to make it into a pistol by replacing the barrel. It is, of course, illegal to make these modifications without buying the appropriate license, but the conversions are legal if all the BATF rules are followed. It's also possible the gun was a legally licensed full auto machine pistol; I'm sure there are some in existence.
What you can be fairly certain of is it was not an unmodified Uzi civilian carbine. With its 16 inch barrel, even a nine year old should be able to control the carbine version..
In a video of the incident, it appears that the girl lost her left hand grip on the weapon, which then spun around and hit the instructor who was standing on her left. It's hard to tell the barrel length in the video, but it seems that the instructor would have had no trouble grabbing a long-barreled gun before it could come around and point towards him. My money is the Uzi was a full-auto, short barreled machine pistol.
Regardless, it seems highly inappropriate to put an Uzi in the hands of a young kid. But some folks think it's nothing more than a video game.

Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
