Mass murder at a wedding - I thought this only happened in Hollywood films!

[Neil]

Forty-four people were killed when gunmen opened fire at a wedding reception in south-eastern Turkey last night in what is believed to have been the culmination of a blood feud between rival families.

The masked assailants stormed a hall in the village of Sultankoy and attacked guests with automatic rifles and hand grenades during the wedding of the daughter of Cemil Celebi, a former village official who was among the wounded.

holy shite, a blood feud that culminated in automatic rifles and hand grenades. kind of makes the hatfield/mccoy feud look tame doesn't it?

It’s nice to know that the people in the world have now reached a state of being were all disputes and feuds are resolved in a mature, none violent and sensible manner.
My family hate’s my fiancée’s family, and that stands for the other way around, sure as hell hope my wedding don’t go this way!
:eek:
