Shotgun wedding: man killed after revelers shoot in the air

A Banglamung villager was killed Sunday when a bullet fired in a wedding procession hit him at his house, it has been claimed.

Now pre-wedding pictures have emerged showing the groom holding guns, Sanook reported.

Thanet Inwong, 36, was killed at his house in Ban Huay Khainao after the wedding procession of the groom heading to his bride’s house had passed by.

Police found dozens of 11mm, 9mm and .38 caliber cartridge casings along the route of the procession. And a video confirmed that shooting in the air was taking place.

The video was widely shared on social media which then had further cause for comment when pre-wedding pictures emerged of the groom holding two guns in a “macho man” pose.

Sanook.com said they could not confirm that the guns in the pictures were real. The pictures were accompanied by an invitation to attend the wedding at 9am on Sunday.

Police are investigating the incident but have so far been met with denials from the bride and groom and their families.
