Thats what you get I guess for bringing an AK-47 assault rifle to your own wedding!
If folk are going to be that stupid, then its up to them to deal with the consequences.
Oh Pegasus, it wasnt one of Walters Mitty's son's was it???..;)
I am definately staying single after reading that story...:eek::eek:
Fire a gun in celebration is stupid enough for a wedding,never mind using an AK-47!!!

Imposible to fully understand how the groom must be feling right now.
Firing guns for clebrations has been passed on from father to son for generations over there
I agree firing a AK-47 in public was very foolish some have in the past brought assualt rifles rocket launchers ant aircraft markes and grenade launchers! :roll:
bit more dangerus than confeti i suppose
I don't find this funny at all [evil]
I can quite realise the severity of such actions are tantamount to stupidity, but at the end of the day, people, obviously very close to the bride/groom, have lost their lives..... as OP said initially its a "Tragedy" !
Thinking of the poor families who are now in mourning......:(

Life is full of situations where some people laugh and others don't think it appropriate. At the end of the day there are millions of people in the world far more in need of our sympathy than a clown with an AK-47 at a wedding. Sometimes the darkest backdrops provide comic relief for some, while others can only wring their hands in worry for people they have never met and know nothing about. The faux grief seen at funerals of people such as Lady Diana turn my stomach, whilst far more deserving cases, often ones we can actually do something about, go on all around us and are ignored with casual indifference.
A man told me that the Jam song Eton Rifles was playing when the gun went off. I doubt that is true but it would have been ironic. Perhaps Lynyrd Skynyrd were next up with Gimme Back My Bullets, to be followed by Automatic from the Pointer Sisters and AK Breaky Heart by Billy-Ray Cyrus. A knees up to Roll Out The Barrel would have topped off a ghoulish coincidence that would certainly offend somebody, somewhere but might give a grin to some poor soul who will just have to learn to live with the guilt of invoking the wrath of the Laughter Police.

Eight other members of the mariage party were injured.
Wonder if the groom is still cooling his heels in prison.
Goes without saying that his elation turned to misetry.

And, meanwhile, in Pakistan:-
"The government has been sharply criticized for a slow and patchy response to the floods, which has killed 1,500 people left and left an estimated 7 million people needing emergency assistance, their homes destroyed, damaged or inundated with muddy water and unlivable."
Goes unmentioned.
GOOD GRIEF - (sorry to be shouting !)
At the end of the day (yes, a lovely wedding day!!:eek:) people have lost their lives................ Mmmmmmmmmm...... so WHAT is the CONSEQUENCE of this "tra
gedy" ... a bride and groom have lost their loved ones on the MOST SPECIAL DAY OF THIER LIVES !!!!
How about a wee bit o' thought for them ..........

As you read this, a child in South Africa is being raped by their own Father. I would rather my thought was with them, rather than some pap with a machine gun at his wedding.
And to think, in this country some councils fine you for throwing confetti.:roll:
it'd usually be tv footage/newsreel of folk in middle eastern countries shooting their ak47s UP into the air that would leave my scientific/physics inept brain contemplating the eventual landing place of these bullets
then earlier this year we had this story ...
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1240433/Boy-killed-bullet-fired-2-miles-away.html
seems the celebrant who fired the gun understood about as much as me about what goes up must come down.
poor wee lad :(

Seems that bulets fired into the air maintain there lethal capabality when they eventualy fall back down.
iThe bullet will maintain its spin and reach a high enouh speed too be lethal on impact.
This is why firing into the air is ilegal.
So verysad for his mother.
He was her only child.
Future hope and joy gone in an instant. :~(
