In a shocking turn of events, a bride was tragically shot dead on her wedding night in Goult, a serene village close to Avignon, southern France. This appalling incident occurred shortly after 4:30 AM local time when masked assailants opened fire as the couple exited their wedding party. Local media reports that the attack is potentially tied to drug-related activities.
Alongside the bride, who was just 27 years old, the groom, aged 25, sustained serious injuries, and a 13-year-old child was also critically injured in the chaos. A suspect was killed during the gunfire, reinforcing the tense situation authorities faced when responding to the emergency.
Local officials, including Goult Mayor Didier Perello, have expressed their outrage and concern regarding the implications of such violence in a small community known for its peaceful environment. Perello remarked on the shocking nature of the incident, particularly as the village has not seen a major crime in over a century.
During the attack, which involved a total of 28 guests, one other individual also sustained minor injuries. The local government has begun a murder investigation, with law enforcement employing helicopters and numerous officers in pursuit of the remaining attackers who managed to escape on foot.
Dining establishment owner Guillaume Molinas voiced his apprehension about the long-lasting effects this incident may have on Goult's reputation. As the community grapples with the aftermath, authorities are keen to establish a clearer picture of the motivations behind the deadly shooting.
