US groom mistakes bride for intruder, shoots her dead

By DPA,

Washington: A man in the US state of Florida shot his bride-to-be on the eve of their wedding after he mistook her for an intruder, local media reported Saturday.

John Tabbut and his fiancee Nany Dinsmore, both aged 62, had been due to walk down the aisle Saturday. On Friday night, Tabbut grabbed his gun and fired into the darkness when he heard a suspicious noise in their home.

Tabbut has not been charged for what police said appeared to be no more than a tragic accident, according to the reports.
