Patna: A groom was killed in celebratory gunfire during a wedding in Bihar moments after the exchange of vows....
As per the itinerary, a wedding procession reached the house of the bride on the scheduled day and this was followed by the garland exchange ritual.
While the groom was walking towards the wedding venue after the garland exchange ritual, his elder brother whipped out a pistol and started firing in celebration.Wow. An idiot brother-in-law kills the groom, and the worry is that the bride will wear the long time consequences?
Witnesses said the brother fired thrice but the gun got stuck. As he tried to clear the bullets, they fired one by one, hitting him as well as the groom. Both sustained seriously injuries in the incident and were immediately rushed to a nearby hospital. The groom succumbed to his injuries on Monday afternoon while his brother is battling for his life.
“Who will marry my daughter now? Now everyone will call her doomed,” said Kumari’s father Bhuletan Rai, sobbing inconsolably.
What's more, this is a recurrent problem in that part of the country, apparently:
Celebratory gunfire go on unchecked in Bihar despite the authorities putting a ban on them. It has claimed many lives during the wedding season over the years. According to a report, 15 people have been killed or wounded in celebratory gunfire in the past six months.

Rather unfortunate that we have to keep all our weapons, and get more. Since the oligarchy is out to cull us. In a better world I'd want more gun control. You own a firearm thats a huge responsibility. You have to be deadly serious about every bullet that comes out of it for any purpose. You have to be able to lock it up, hide it, defend it and so forth. The gun may only cost $1000 and yet you may need $20 000 investment to keep everyone safe. Horrible things they are in my view.
they won't be able to find a replacement of his calibre!!
boom tish, Homer.
