A young woman died after being shot in the head while attending a wedding in northern France on Saturday, sources close to the investigation said.

According to the mayor of the town of Marly, Fabien Thieme, the young woman was in the street when celebratory shots were fired from a procession of cars involved in another wedding.

“This young woman of 19 to 20 years of age took a buckshot bullet to the head,” said Thieme. “They were driving past but the bullet hit her.”

Emergency services treated the woman at the scene before she was transported to hospital, but she died later.
