It is believed that four armed attackers, concealed by hoods, arrived in a Golf 8 and began shooting at the newlyweds as they were departing from the festivities.

According to the Carpentras prosecutor’s office in Le Parisien, the bride was tragically killed, alongside one of the attackers.

It is alleged they were crushed by the groom’s car as he tried to escape.

A source close to the case reported three other people were injured, including the newlyweds’ 13-year-old son, a woman, and the groom.

Their injuries are understood to be serious but not life-threatening.

Cops are now hunting the three gang members who fled the scene on foot, according to local news outlets.
