Bloodbath at Yemeni wedding: Celebratory gunfire goes horribly wrong

The situation at a wedding in Yemen went out of control when a group of men dancing to the tunes of Psy's famous rendition of 'Gangnam Style' were shot dead after one man from the group lost control of his AK-47 rifle while shooting in the air.

An YouTube video clip shows revelers dancing away at a Yemeni wedding, when the rifle goes off and the gunner loses control. At least three men are shot dead at the spot, turning the celebration into a tragedy.

After the gun goes off, killing a few men, mayhem breaks out and horrifc screams of guests can be heard on the clip. Some guests try to drag those who are critically injured off the ground even as they lay still in a pool of their own blood.

Those men who were hit by the bullets dropped dead... literally in front of their friends and relatives even as a couple of others writhed in agony before they lost the battle.

Gunfire during weddings and other celebrations is a common practice even though it is illegal to do so.
