Tom Brady Wedding Gunfire

From Gayle Fee and Laura Raposa with Simone Press in the Boston Herald:
Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen’s glam Costa Rican wedding was marred by gunfire last night when security guards hired to keep paparazzi away fired at two photographers as they fled the scene with their film. No one was hurt.
According to two spokesmen for the INF photo agency, photographers were hiding in the brush near Gisele’s beachfront home taking pictures of the event when they were rousted by the newlyweds’ security guards.
he photographers, identified as Yuri Cortez and Rolando Aviles, were marched up to Bundchen’s villa where they were ordered to surrender their still photos and video. The men refused and fled with the security guards in pursuit.
Two of the photographers ran to a waiting SUV and jumped in as a guard fired a shot at them, the photo agency said. The bullet shattered the Suzuki’s rear window, passed between the two men in the front seat and bounced off the windshield.
“No one was hurt but one of their cars was messed up,” the INF spokesman said.
The photo agency posted pictures of a photographer standing by an SUV with a shattered back windshield. A second picture shows the photographer holding a bullet.
It is unclear whether Mr. and Mrs. Brady and their 25 guests knew about the incident. According to People magazine, the newlyweds looked relaxed and happy as they mingled under a tent on the balcony of Gisele’s beachfront estate during their dream wedding redux.
