Groom was fatally wounded at a wedding as he exited the church with the bride

After being shot dead during his own wedding, a groom’s joyous day has turned tragic.

According to reports, he “accidentally” opened fire, leaving his devastated bride drenched in his blood.

After the church ceremony, 32-year-old Marco Antonio was shot and killed in Caborca, Mexico, while holding the hand of his wife and making his way to the wedding car.

It is thought that rival city cartel gangs mistook the IT engineer for a threat.

Tragically, a picture of his wife being assisted by a loved one was shown with her clothes covered in blood.

Local media said that Antonio’s sister had also been shot in the back.

Antonio was determined by authorities to have died from a “direct attack”
