Groom accidentally kills three relatives at wedding

[chiefohara]

A groom accidentally killed three relatives at his wedding in Turkey when he fired into the air with an assault rifle in celebration, according to reports.

Eight other people were wounded at the incident at the village of Akcagoze in Turkey's southeastern province of Gaziantep.

The groom unleashed a series of rapid aerial shots with an AK-47 rifle to celebrate his nuptials, but quickly lost control of the weapon and accidentally shot his guests, the Anatolia news agency said.

His father and two of his aunts died in hospital.

The groom was arrested.

Turks are notorious for breaking out into gunshots to celebrate weddings and sports victories, a practice that has caused many deaths and which authorities have so far failed to curb.

Well then. Someone give Turkey some copies of Modern Warfare 2: digital AK-47s are much less dangerous.

 

[Oh That Dude]

Wow sure is xenophobic in here.

I did see a wedding party in Ankara once setting off massive barrages of fireworks, but nothing dangerous.

...Turks appear to have the mental capacity of a very dense rock.

My father's Turkish, and I'll be damned if he isn't intelligent. Leave your strange assumptions at the door next time, if you please.

Wow sure is xenophobic in here.

Here, I'll just insult the guy, not his country. He's pretty dumb... I wish I had something wittier to say, but that's all I got...

 

[fix-the-spade]

Well, that's unfortunate.

But it's a good advert for proper fiream handling.

Wow sure is xenophobic in here.

Erm, I don't think it's "xenophobic" to comment on the retarded actions of retarded people.

It doesn't matter what kind of cultural bullshit they try to invoke, it's not a good idea to play around with assault weapons at weddings...

That was in response to the people calling Turks in general dense as rocks. I'm not defending the guy, he's an irresponsible noob fool.

 

[FightThePower]

Wow. What a total fucking idiot.

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

How the hell did he "lose control" long enough to kill 3 and wound 8? that's gotta be at least 11 bullets, so he emptied half the clip into the reception. WTH?

 

[Dango]

Well then. Someone give Turkey some copies of Modern Warfare 2: digital AK-47s are much less dangerous.

That's a terrible idea, the controllers and broken disks being thrown will cause much more damage than any AK-47 can.

But in all seriousness, this is a pretty sad incident, it's unfortunate that this practice has not been stopped.

Wow sure is xenophobic in here.

I'm sorry, but any culture that is notorious for firing live rounds of ammunition, from a fully automatic assault rifle no less, wildly into the air at a celebration that tends to have large crowds of people.... is pretty fucking retarted. Nothing personal against them, but obviously that tradition needs rethinking.

 

[SomeLameStuff]

Firstly, what the bollocks gave him the bright idea to fire an ak-47 in the air?

Secondly, how the hell did he lose control of it and shoot three people? And wound eight others? You'd think he would have STOPPED firing when he hit the first person.

 

[Cody211282]

Wow, that's just a new epic level of retard, how the hell do you lose control of an AK-47 unless you have the arm strength of of a 7 year old girl, I mean hell 13 year olds in Africa can use it better then he can.

 

[Quaxar]

Is "hahahahaha" a low-content post? I sincerely hope it is not, because that's the only thing I can think right now. God, that's stuuuupeeeehd.
Who the hell takes an automatic rifle to a wedding?

Ah yes...
