Shooting at gay wedding reception in Guyana
Guyana police are looking for a man who opened fired on a gay wedding reception in Georgetown, Guyana, hitting a participant in the chest. Meanwhile, gay weddings are illegal in the South American country and police plan to revoke the marriage license of whoever performed the ceremony. The couple apparently began attracting attention when they went to the botanical gardens to take pictures. When people at the gardens realized the bride was a man in a dress, dozens began to crowd around them. Some cheered, others cursed. The couple then left quickly for the reception. An hour later a man arrived at the reception and opened fire, injuring one man before everyone dispersed and the attacker fled. Police said the injured man was in stable condition at a local hospital.
