Photographer dead after guns used as props in wedding snaps
The firing of a gun at a family celebration is common in Sicily
A wedding photographer in Italy has been shot dead after a gun accidentally went off while being used by the bridal party as props for the official snaps.
45-year-old photographer Calogero Scimea stepped in at the last minute to take the pictures at the wedding on the isle of Sicily after the original photographer fell ill. Mr Scimea suffered a fatal gunshot wound to the head caused by one of the hunting rifles being used by the bridal party as they posed for photos.
Teenage sweethearts 22-year-old Valentina Anitra and 25-year-old Ignazio Licodia were having photographs taken at the home of the groom’s parents ahead of the wedding. Following the tragic incident, the bride and groom called off the ceremony immediately. The couple and their families who witnessed the accidental shooting were said to be distraught.
The groom’s parents could be prosecuted as the death occurred on their property, although the parent’s of the bride could also be in danger of prosecution as they supplied some of the firearms used in the photographs. It’s been reported that all of the guns were held legally. Ballistic experts have been called in to investigate the circumstances of the shooting.
In southern Italy, and especially on the isle of Sicily, it’s traditional for guns to be fired at special family events and also festivals. Many deaths have been reported in the past as a result of this dangerous practice.
