- 5 years ago
A wedding dancer dodged a bullet miraculously after a man aimed his gun at her head and fired at a wedding in northeastern India.
The chilling incident occurred at a village near Motihari in Bihar state, on December 16. with video showing the dancer performing on stage with her partner before a large audience.
The footage then shows a man standing close to the stage and firing a gun at her while she and her partner were taking a selfie. Though the bullet missed her, the dancer’s face was engulfed in smoke from the shot.
The dancer collapsed from shock and was carried off stage. She has been admitted to a hospital in Mohammadpur where doctors said she was in shock but had not suffered any injury from the bullet.
A local police officer said the man had been arrested and the cause of shooting was being probed.
In many parts of India, families celebrate weddings by firing in the air. Reports of accidental firing injuring or even killing those in the vicinity surface periodically.
