Bride killed by shots, 13, injured by armed men masked at the wedding party in France

Armed men opened fire at a wedding party in southeastern France at dawn on Sunday, killing the bride and hurting three others, a source close to the investigation said.

The attack in the town of Gault occurred around 4:30 am

According to the initial information, the bride and groom left the party when they were confronted by masked assailants who opened fire, the source close to the investigation added.

The bride died and one of the attackers was killed, hit by the car of the boyfriends and the boyfriend while trying to escape, said the source.

According to the source, a large -scale operation was launched that involves around 100 police officers to find those responsible for the shooting.

The three injured people were the boyfriend, his sister and a 13 -year -old boy, according to Le Figaro. The authorities did not say if the child was related to the couple, but a source close to the case told Sun that the 13 -year -old was the son of the newlyweds.

The Aviñón prosecutor’s office has opened an investigation into “murder and attempted murder for an organized gang,” said Le Figaro.

Researchers are investigating whether the shooting had to do with a possible score establishment.

“I think he was attacked,” said the mayor of the city, Didier Perello, to journalists, according to Le Figaro.

Goult is in southeastern France, about 55 miles north of Marseille, a port city recently shaken by drug -related violence. In 2022, Gour had a population of just over 1,000 people.
