A local bride is in the hospital just hours after taking her vows, suffering a gunshot wound to the abdomen.

It is alleged that shortly after the wedding at 617 S. Jackson street yesterday, the bride, Laurette Brunson, threw a bowl of macaroni salad at her new ‘hubby’, Richard Brunson, and he decided to fight food with a .22 caliber handgun; a seemingly unfair advantage.

Thirty relatives and friends at the couple’s home attended the ceremony, which began around 2PM, sources say. Around 5PM an argument broke out, leaving macaroni everywhere, and the bride on the floor, all shot’n stuff. We were able to speak briefly with Walter Corse, a neighbor of the Brunson’s.

Neighbors notified the authorities immediately. When the police arrived, Mr. Brunson was nowhere to be found. His whereabouts are still unknown.

Mrs. Brunson, however, is resting comfortably at St. Luke’s hospital, where hospital officials say she is in satisfactory condition.

So if you’re out there Mr. Brunson, you can finish the job at St. Lukes. 2720 Stonepark Blvd. Open Monday-Sunday, 24 hours.
