A Texas man accidentally shot a child while officiating a wedding in Lancaster County on Saturday, the sheriff’s office says.
Chief Deputy Ben Houchin said deputies were sent to a wedding at Hillside Events near Denton on a report of a gunshot wound.
Deputies learned that 62-year-old Michael Gardner, the wedding’s officiant, fired a gun to get everyone’s attention.
“He was going to fire in the air, and as he did that, it slipped and went off,” Houchin said.
The gun was loaded with a blank that Gardner made with gunpowder and glue.

No, the commentor above you is correct. This was a Texas man officiating a wedding in Nebraska (happens to be local news to me).

Who the fuck uses a gun to get someone’s attention?
Track and field race officials.
But they use special starter pistols.
I heard it was Karl Marx’s sister, Anya, who invented the starter pistol.
I’d wager he saw it in a movie and prepared a special blank, waiting for exactly the right moment to get their attention.
I would say Texans, but idiots is more apt.
The pregnant bride’s dad?
You ever heard of a shotgun wedding?
lol
