By Mohamed Ghobari of Reuters November 24, 2013 Two men were killed in Yemen when they were hit by celebratory gunfire, while dancing to the pop hit, "Gangnam Style." A Yemeni wedding ended in disaster after a guest firing celebratory shots in the air with his AK-47 accidentally killed two men while they were dancing to pop hit, "Gangnam Style", according to a police source and a video posted online. The police source said the guest at the wedding in the southern city of Taiz lost control of his rifle, leading to the deaths. Two other people were being treated in hospital. A video circulating on the web purportedly shows the incident, which happened late last week. Its authenticity could not be immediately verified. The footage shows a man shooting a gun in the air and then starting to dance with several other guests to the hit song. The rattle of gunfire is then heard and when the camera pans down, bodies are seen lying in pools of blood. The music stops as the guests rush to help the victims. Celebratory gunfire is common at Yemeni weddings. Granted, it's s stupid song, but, to each his own, and not to get shot over." /> By Mohamed Ghobari of Reuters November 24, 2013 Two men were killed in Yemen when they were hit by celebratory gunfire, while dancing to the pop hit, "Gangnam Style."

Re: Two Shot Dead at 'Gangnam Style' Wedding Dance
Im not around guns that much so I really cant understand why you wouldn't just use a finger and turn on the saftey! why the fuck do you have a automatic rifle anywhere near the party. If it was for security the they should have been at the door and not prancing around the dancefloor

Re: Two Shot Dead at 'Gangnam Style' Wedding Dance
Full auto is actually hard to control... Certain groups celebrate everything from weddings to successful bowel movements by firing in the air |

Re: Two Shot Dead at 'Gangnam Style' Wedding Dance
In Thailand [almost entirely in the rural 'backwoods'] some people fire guns into the air during an eclipse to try to scare off the spirit eating the sun. |
