A wedding ceremony in Mexico turned into a nightmare when armed attackers stormed in just as the bride was about to throw her bouquet. One guest was killed in the attack, and two others were injured. On Saturday, armed gang members arrived at the wedding venue in five vans, attempting to kidnap guest Vladimir Zúñiga Calzada. In horrifying footage, as the bride and groom stood in their chairs, an armed man is seen trying to drag a guest on the dance floor by his tie. A shocked voice off-camera asks, "What's happening?" The incident occurred at the Casino del Pueblo in the city of Jalapa, located 300 kilometers east of Mexico City. At least five armed attackers entered the venue to abduct Vladimir. He was shot and killed when he resisted getting into the van. Jalapa Mayor José Manuel Hernández Pérez stated, "More than five armed individuals carried out a violent act at the city casino. Three people were injured, one of whom was seriously wounded and later died." The Deputy Attorney General indicated that the deceased Vladimir was suspected of being involved in illegal activities, including human trafficking. Note: This incident occurred just a few days after a shooting at a bar in another city in Mexico, where 10 people were killed.
