An Iranian bride tragically died at her own wedding after getting hit by a stray bullet during a round of celebratory gunfire.
Mahvash Leghaei, 24, had reportedly just tied the knot when a male guest decided to mark the occasion by firing off some ceremonial gunshots — a custom that’s illegal in Iran.
Unfortunately, the shooter’s festive firearm display, in which he allegedly used an unlicensed hunting rifle, backfired horribly: While the first shot went off without incident, a second round reportedly went through Leghaei’s skull & brain before hitting two male guests.
“We had an emergency call of a shooting at a wedding hall in Firuzabad city & officers were dispatched immediately,” a police spokesperson, Colonel Mehdi Jokar, told Newsflash of the freak accident, which occurred at the wedding south of Shiraz.
Jokar chalked up the marital misfire to “crowds” & a “poor control of the weapon.”
The bride subsequently went into a coma and later succumbed to her wounds. Fortunately, the other 2 victims survived with minor injuries.
Following the incident, the unnamed shooter — who is reportedly a cousin of the groom — allegedly fled the scene with the weapon in tow, but was apprehended by police shortly thereafter.
“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.”
