 Posted: 06/26/05 - 16:00 Post subject: Serbian Police Wedding Traditions
Obviously, classes on firearm characteristics were not included in the sharpshooter training.
Groom injured guests
A Serbian bridegroom spent the night in the cells after he injured 15 guests while trying to shoot an apple with a shotgun.
Shooting the apple is a traditional part of a Serbian wedding and is supposed to bring good luck to the newly-weds, reports Glas Javnosti newspaper.
But the groom, 47, who's also a police marksman, used a shotgun instead of a pistol and 15 people were hit by ricocheting pellets.
None of the guests were seriously injured but police were called to the incident and arrested their colleague and confiscated his gun.

I'm amazed nobody was killed really.
