Bride, Groom, Four Others Shot in Chile

A Chilean wedding party ended in bloodshed over the weekend when a guest who refused to go home pulled a revolver on his hosts, wounding the bride and groom and four others, neighbors said.

They said the trouble began when Luis Gonzales Perez, a witness to the civil wedding of Daniel Sanhueza Pena and Mariela Fuentes Moran, refused to leave at the end of the party, held in a house in a poor suburb of Santiago.

He was eventually forced out of the house but returned some time later with a revolver, burst through the front door and opened fire on the family, wounding the bride and groom, the groom’s father, his two brothers and a guest, the neighbors said.

A hospital spokesman said four of the wounded, including the groom and his father, were in serious condition. Gonzales was arrested on assault charges.
