Saudi Wedding Gunfire Downs Power Line, Kills 25

At least 25 people attending a wedding last night in Saudi Arabia have died after celebratory gunfire brought down a power line, which may have started a blaze in a tent, reports al-Jazeera. But Reuters quotes an official who says the cable fell on a metal door, electrocuting guests who were trying to escape. Some 30 other guests were injured; most of the victims were women and children, as the nation requires public events to be segregated by gender. (More wedding stories.)
