Blood flows at Indian wedding as misfired celebratory rifle shot kills groom’s father

An Indian wedding ceremony turned into tragedy after a guest lost control of his rifle during traditional celebratory gunfire, shooting a bullet into the head of the groom’s father.

日前，一位宾客在一对印度新人的婚礼上鸣枪庆祝时不慎打中新郎父亲头部，导致新郎父亲当场死亡，原本的大喜之日也被蒙上了悲剧的阴影。

Instead of being remembered as the union of a happy couple, the wedding which took place in the village of Jandla, central India, is being billed as a ceremony from hell thanks to the all too common mishandling of a firearm.

这次婚礼在印度中部的邦巴德纳加尔举行。然而，这场婚礼并没有在场新人喜结连理的喜悦与欢庆，而是因为一场误射酿成了重大悲剧。

Footage of the horrific accident from LiveLeak shows joyful father Mansoor Patel celebrating the marriage of his son Shekha in front of a queue of eight riflemen, before tragedy strikes.

LiveLeak网站上传的现场视频显示，事故发生前，新郎的父亲曼苏尔·派特尔十分高兴，他站在一排鸣枪宾客的前方，欢天喜地地为自己儿子的婚礼忙前忙后。

As he dances amid the celebratory gunfire, Patel is suddenly struck by the bullet of a careless guest, who appeared to have accidentally pulled the trigger of his weapon while reloading.

正当派特尔在一群鸣枪宾客中间开心跳舞之时，忽然被一位宾客误射的子弹击中头部。这位宾客当时正在重新填装子弹，在将步枪放平之际刚好就对准了派特尔，并不小心将子弹射了出去。

The shot, fired at near point blank range, struck Patel directly in the head, killing him instantly. The footage shows shocked revelers rushing in vain to his aid.

该宾客基本是近距离直接射击，一举命中派特尔头部，使其当场死亡。事故发生后，宴席上的许多宾客纷纷冲上前抢救派特尔，但最终还是未能挽回这场悲剧。

Celebrating marriages with gunfire is a tradition still upheld in parts of the Middle East, Asia and Eastern Europe. But obviously not everyone should be trusted to carry out the potentially deadly custom.

鸣枪庆祝以显示阳刚之气是印度婚礼中的传统习俗，这种习俗至今在中东地区，亚洲和东欧地区还有所保留，但这种传统意义上的习俗不应该充满危险，甚至最后酿成大祸。

Last year a recording of a similar wedding accident showed an Iraqi man losing grip of his Kalashnikov and firing a salvo of bullets into the back of a fellow guest.

去年，也是在这样一个原本应充满着喜庆气氛的婚礼现场，一个伊拉克人不小心使手中的卡拉什尼科夫冲锋枪走火，将膛内一连发子弹射向现场宾客的后部。

The footage, filmed in an unidentified part of Iraq, depicts at least one shot striking the victim in the back of the head as he slumps to the floor.

当时婚礼现场的一位不知名的伊拉克宾客记录了现场的发生过程，视频显示受害者的后脑勺连续中了数枪，随后该名客人便倒在血泊中。

Realizing what just happened, a crowd of people can be heard screaming in blind panic for help.

待现场很多人意识到发生的一切之后，他们便自乱阵脚，大声尖叫，早就忘了要抢救受害人这回事了。
