It is a scene worthy of a Mexican soap opera.
This weekend, a religious wedding ended in tragedy with the death of the groom in the municipality of Caborca (Sonora), in northern Mexico.
The 32-year-old man was shot by a subject when leaving his religious wedding, in the Nuestra Señora de la Candelaria temple.
The images captured by onlookers and guests at the wedding are bloody: the bride's pompous dress stained with blood, being herself injured by the perpetrator's attack, while several people tried to revive the newlywed, without success.
Between the shouting of the attendees and the families of the bride and groom, no one knew if it was a direct attack or even random shots from organized crime.
The videos broadcast on social networks show a heartbroken girlfriend, Michelle Adriana, 23, screaming for her dying husband, given the delay of more than 20 minutes for the paramedics to arrive at the scene.
According to local press reports, Marco Antonio Rosales Contreras, the newlywed, was originally from Durango and lived in Guadalajara (Jalisco), died after receiving four direct shots in the church atrium, when the guests left behind them. while the wedding march played.
