The police spokesperson explained: “We received an emergency call regarding a shooting in a wedding hall. Officers discovered that someone had fired shots with a shotgun as part of the local nomadic tradition, but unfortunately due to the crowds and poor control of the gun by the person, he shot at three people, two men and the bride. »
“The shooter then fled the area, but the police located the man quickly” relates the Sun again. The shooter was identified as a 36-year-old male cousin of the groom.
The custom of shooting a gun at weddings is still common in the Middle East – despite its illegality. According to local reports, two bullets were fired, one which hit the bride in the head, the other which injured two guests.
