A wife was gunned down and killed after her own wedding in France – three other people, including a 13-year-old, were left injured in the ambush
A gang of gunmen opened fire at a wedding and shot the bride dead and injured three others, in a horror killing.
The day of celebration was ambushed by four hooded gunmen who shot at the bride and groom as they were leaving at around 4.30am on Sunday, June 22. Police were called and rushed to the Vaucluse venue, in Goult, in the south of France. One of the attackers was also killed and three other people, including a 13-year-old boy, were injured in the terrifying wedding shooting.
The bride and groom were reportedly leaving their car when they were ambushed by the attackers, who arrived in a Golf car. The groom then reversed his car, in a desperate attempt to escape the attack, and hit one of the shooters.
The three people injured after this morning’s shock attack were a 13-year-old boy, the newlywed husband, and a woman, according to a source close to the investigation.
French police have launched an investigation into what was behind the horror shooting as they try to track down the three gang members who fled the scene.
28 officers are believed to be involved in the manhunt for the three attackers, according to Le Monde.
