Bride shot dead: Three people were seriously injured and a 27-year-old bride was killed at a wedding party in a village in southeastern France. In this attack, an assault man also died. The 25-year-old groom, a 13-year-old child, and the attacker were injured.
When the newlyweds were leaving the party in a car at around 4:30 am, masked assailants opened fire, according to reports. The attacker was hit by the bride and groom’s car and died at the scene.
The attacker arrived by car carrying several weapons.
Authorities have started an investigation for “attempted murder by an organized gang,” Le Figaro reported.
At the time of the attack, 28 people were present in the village hall.
“I’m angry. I’m outraged,” Goult Mayor Didier Perello said.
“I’m ruling nothing out. Absolutely nothing,” he said.
“The village hall had been rented for a wedding by people who don’t live in the commune,” the mayor added.
Guillaume Molinas, a 50-year-old restaurant owner, said he feared that the tragedy would “give the village a bad name.” “The last major incident in the village was 125 years ago.”
