A bride has been shot dead at her own wedding when a stray bullet from celebratory gunfire hit her in the head.

Mahvash Leghaei, 24, got married at Firuzabad in Iran when a guest, who is believed to be a cousin of the groom, fired his unlicensed high-powered hunting rifle.

Horrifying! Prayers for the family.

Words elude me.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Poor control indeed.

“...fired his unlicensed high-powered hunting rifle.”

Would the poor woman be less dead if the rifle was ‘licensed’?

[butlerweave]

Did she have insurance ?

Shaking my head at how MSM has to point out that the idiot Iranian had an unlicensed high-powered hunting rifle.

The media just has to insert "the agenda" wherever possible.

“”...fired his unlicensed high-powered hunting rifle.””

“Would the poor woman be less dead if the rifle was ‘licensed’?”

...or low or medium power? (whatever that even means)

You know what would be a great idea? Let’s open our borders and fill America up with 3rd worlders so we can enjoy all their bizarre, savage customs here at home.

She doesn’t have to worry about where to get an abortion.

Puts a new twist on “shotgun wedding”

[lurk]

Horrible for that family.

Back in the day, Mexican weddings had the obligatory fist fight. One of the mothers was usually behind it.

This happened near Shiraz, Iran according to another article.

From that article we have the following comment from the local police:

Naturally, any disturbance of public order like this crosses the red line with the police, and people need to know that to create a safe community, shooting is banned at weddings,” said Jokar. “We will take tough action against anybody found to be breaking this rule.”

Apparently shooting your gun in the air is/was common enough that they needed to pass a law to ban the practice.

Did he have a tag for bagging a bride?

[thegagline]

This begs a very important question:

Does the groom get to keep the presents or dies he have to return them?

[crusty old prospector]

Are there any low-powered rifles?

[WeaslesRippedMyFlesh]

From the looks of it, he’s keeping the Peugeot.

Thanks Michael.SF. In addition -

In a similar wedding disaster last month, a groom accidentally shot a member of his wedding party to death during ceremonial gunfire in India.

Guess that whole “What goes up, must come down” thing is lost on these people.
