Maid Of Honor Takes Bullet During Bouquet Toss
Woman Not Seriously Injured In Shooting
UPDATED: 3:13 pm EDT May 3, 2006 from clickondetroit.com
FORT WORTH, Texas -- A Texas bridesmaid was struck by a stray bullet while preparing for the bouquet toss at her best friend's wedding reception.
Strange things are known to happen at weddings, but one North Texas woman has a story that can top most after being struck by a stray bullet fired from more than a mile away.
Maid of Honor Kristin Campbell was having a great time at her best friend's wedding in Houston and was about to make a go for the bouquet when she was shot.
"I didn't hear anything. I just knew I had a hole in my arm," said Campbell. "It was painful, but it wasn't terrible, but it did feel like I was shot. There was really no other way to describe it."
She said the bullet traveled far, more than a mile, and had lost most of its power after smashing through the roof of the ballroom where the reception was being held.
The bullet fell out of Campbell's arm and onto the dance floor.
"Apparently, some man was upset and just fired his gun into the air about a mile away from where we were. The bullet just came through the roof and into my arm," said Campbell. "It's just a freak event."
For a few minutes after the shooting, no one could figure out what happened.
"I just was so shocked, how can she be hurt ... we didn't hear anything, we didn't see anything, why would she just start bleeding?" said bridesmaid Elissa Winder.
The wound didn't bleed much and Campbell is making a full recovery.
Campbell said the person who fired the shot should be punished.
"I do think it was terribly reckless and there should be charges. But I'm fine, just incredibly lucky and no one was badly hurt when they could have been," said Campbell.

And here I thought it was competitive bouquet catching. Glad it was an accident.

Re: Maid Of Honor Takes Bullet During Bouquet Toss
that is crazy- and exactly why guns are extremely dangerous-- if it hit her in her chest-- it really could have maybe killed her-- or, if it hit an artery.

DH and I record every episode of Mythbusters and we just watched that episode a couple of days ago. I immediately thought of that when I read this post.

Does anyone else find this statement really odd???? Like, oh he was upset so fired his gun -- umm there is something wrong with our society if this is a normal way to be upset...
