Kind of a bizarre way to begin your life together. Everythin from here on out should be pretty boring

LITTLE ROCK, Ark.  —  An apparent stranger shot the bride, groom and two other people at an outdoor wedding in rural Arkansas, then was arrested after being chased by outraged guests, a sheriff's official said Sunday.

The wedding was just ending Saturday when the suspect approached with a 9 mm pistol and opened fire, Pope County sheriff's Lt. Aaron DuVall said. No one else was hurt.

About 50 people, including children, had attended the ceremony along Piney Creek north of Dover at a spot the lieutenant said was popular for picnicking and swimming. Dover is 64 miles northwest of Little Rock.

The suspect "was not associated with the wedding at all," DuVall said. "No one knew him."

Police arrested Patrick Paul Duvall, 29, after a he was chased into a Russellville restaurant parking lot, said the sheriff's lieutenant, who is not related to the suspect.

DuVall declined to identify the four people who were injured, but he said the bride, groom and a third victim remained in the hospital Sunday. One victim was treated and released.

Without the victims' names, it wasn't possible to get information from hospitals on the patients' conditions.

I reckon so. But... who needs that kind of excitement to start a marriage?

Bet it is the most exciting day either have had so far.  Be hard to have an excitng encore after that. When I saw the caption I immediately thought "daddy" might not have apporved of the wedding and took matters into his own hands

At least it sounds as if they are going to be all right.

That will be a tale they can tell their children at bedtime. I am glad no one was killed.

Now here is an example of where you suspend civil rights and take no prisoners!!!

That man who shoots to kill innocent citizens, with loads of eye witnesses, did not deserve to be taken alive let alone ten years of trial and appeal. When one suspends the rights of others with this kind of behaviour, it is appropriate to suspend his rights and make certain he never has the opportunity to harm man nor beast ever again.

Good to hear that nobody was killed.  It would be interesting to know how this couple describes their marriage in 10 years.  What a story!
