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.

    What exactly do modern reprints have to do with why the founding fathers capitalize certain words?

      No idea, I didn’t say anything about modern reprints.

        But your quote was specifically about modern reprints and nothing about why they original writers capitalized specific words.

          Read it again, they didn’t. It was a stylistic choice by the calligrapher.
