Newlyweds Shot After Arkansas Wedding
Little Rock, AR: A newlywed couple are in critical condition at a local hospital after being shot by an assailant, shortly after exchanging vows at their outdoor wedding in Pope County, Arkansas on Saturday.
A CBS report said the shooter, 29-year old Patrick Duvall, and the couple had an argument during the wedding after a fight between their dogs. Duvall went to his car, got a gun, returned to the wedding party and began shooting.
A guest and a bystander, both unidentified, were also shot by Duvall at the wedding of Melissa Smith and Mike Beavers along Piney Creek north of Dover. The guest is still hospitalized though the bystander had been released after treatment.
The Pope County Sheriff’s office has arrested the gunman, Duvall. He faces four felony counts of first-degree battery. The suspect also faces a felony charge of vehicle theft for stealing a truck to escape after the shooting.
