North Carolina groom fatally shot in front of bride and daughter just hours after wedding

Source: NBC News via AOL

A newly married North Carolina groom was fatally shot in front of his bride and daughter just hours after the wedding ceremony, his family says.

Tyrek Burton, 37, had tied the knot with his bride, Kiara Holloway, on Oct. 12 at the Barber Park Events Center in Greensboro. But the momentous occasion ended in tragedy when hours later, just before 9 p.m., Greensboro police responded to the scene on a report of a shooting.

Officers found Burton injured in the parking area. Life saving efforts were performed, but Burton succumbed to his injuries that night.

Burton’s sister, Brittany Burton, told reporters that someone had followed Burton into the parking lot of the venue alleging that Burton was involved in a traffic incident, and opened fire.

Some time ago.
Certainly much safer when every nut case has a pile of guns and ammo.
Not.

You would be surprised how some people get crazy and start attacking other drivers over minor traffic issues.

It on Tuesday night btw.

Who thought it was a great idea to "exercise" their 2nd amendment rights for a perceived problem? I'd like to learn the explanation!

I live a few years ago. Bride and groom retired to a local bar, got drunk, bride's niece tried to convince them to let her drive them home, then died after bride handled the groom's gun and it went off.
