Please let that be the last firearms instructing that 76-yr-old ever does... Reminds me of when my 87-yr-old father lurched his Buick forward (instead of the intended reverse) into his woodshop. He stopped all driving after that and I breathed a lot easier.
You have assumed without any other evidence that the cause of the problem was age-related. Why not blame it on the fact that the guy was male? After all, these things seem to happen more with males than females, right?

In 2010, the NRA instructor that shot a student in Florida was just 32 years of age.

This incident happened here in Texas. The age and sex of the instructor are not stated, however.

Another incident in Texas where one instructor shot another one multiple times, not from an ND, but failure to follow basic range safety rules.

The shooter is/was not anywhere near retirement of mental senility.
