A bride and groom, had to cut their reception short, after a wedding guest shot another guest during what was supposed to be a celebration for the happy new couple.
A Philadelphia wedding turned into chaos Wednesday evening, when a group of female guests began fighting.
The fight spilled out onto the street from the wedding festivities at a place called ‘The Venue’ and a woman suffered a gunshot wound to the leg.
Authorities reported that the 26-year old victim was part of a verbal and physical altercation with another woman when the suspect, a third woman, interceded and shot the victim.
The suspect, described only as a Black woman, fled the scene.
The victim, whom police did not publicly identify, walked into a nearby police station around 9 p.m. and spoke with authorities.
Medics then transported the victim to Temple University Hospital where she was in stable condition and not in any life-threatening situation.
The fight took place despite the presence of young children at the wedding. Although police have not yet made an arrest, the suspect left behind her car and identification.
“It’s a very unfortunate situation,” Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small told the station. “It’s supposed to be a happy moment, a wedding.”
Small said, “We are confident and know who the suspect is and we are expecting to make an arrest very soon.”
The bride and groom had planned to continue the reception until 11 p.m., but the celebration died down early due to the violence.
The investigation remained ongoing Thursday. Anyone with information on the suspect’s whereabouts is asked to call police at 215-686-TIPS.
Comments like this is what causes problems. No, I’m not a fan of the Democrat party, and I’m not a fan of racism and hatred. IT NEEDS TO STOP.
