A couple's wedding day is expected to be the happiest day of
their lives, but that was not so for a couple in Brazil whose
wedding was disrupted by a gun-toting, trigger-happy intruder.
Hardly had the bride and groom walked down the aisle to
stand in front of the altar when the man, who marched in
behind the couple, lifted his t-shirt, brought out a gun and
began shooting
Guests and the couple scattered in different directions while
some guests were brought down by the bullet.
Umberto Ferreira dos Santos, known by his nickname
Betinho, opened fire at guests at the ceremony inside a
church in Limoeiro de Anadia.
He was plotting to take out a father and son in a revenge
attack over the death of his own boy, it was claimed.
62-year-old man Cícero Barbosa da Silva, and his 37-year-old
son, Edmilson Bezerra da Silva, who were supposed to stand
in as witnesses at the wedding were both shot. They were
rushed to the hospital and have reportedly been stabilised.
The gunman fled after carrying out the callous act.
