BAKERSFIELD, CA -- The new year brings new beginnings, but sometimes they aren't the happiest of times. A gunman has been arrested in California, after crashing a wedding and firing a gun into the crowd of guests attending the wedding, following an argument.
Bakersfield Police were called to a report of shots fired at the Gurdwara Sikh Temple Saturday afternoon. Investigators determined that one man had been shot at and the alleged gunman was still inside the temple upon arrival.
The shooting happened right after the wedding ceremony ended and over 150 guests were being dismissed from the temple. Police said 34-year-old Hardial Singh got into an argument with the victim inside the temple. The argument moved outside and Singh fired a single shot at the ground near the victim's feet.
Police said Hardial Singh had a .380 caliber handgun in his waistband, and they arrested him for assault with a deadly weapon. The bride, groom and other guests attending the wedding were not injured in the shooting, and although shaken up, they continued on to the wedding reception following the shooting.

Comment by Bianca Moran on January 1, 2012 at 3:54pm Oh my gosh, this is terrible! I don't know what I would ever do if something like this happened at my wedding... I will have to put that in the fine print on my wedding invitations... PS - leave guns at home!!
Comment by Gerald Sousa on January 1, 2012 at 3:56pm Not a happy new year for these newlyweds at all... what a shame. I actually worked a wedding where there was a stabbing in New York... but it was accidental when a kid was leaving the table with a steak knife and I got it on camera, but certainly the couple would never want to see those pictures...
Comment by Vicky Jackson on January 1, 2012 at 3:57pm I would be devastated if I was the bride at this wedding.
Comment by Jessica Fitzpatrick on January 1, 2012 at 4:00pm I wonder if the bride and groom knew of any trouble between any of their wedding guests beforehand... if so, it may have been a good idea for them to look into some kind of security for their wedding ahead of time, but then again nobody can predict something like this happening on their wedding day, and most people probably wouldn't even think to make this part of their wedding plans either... as a bride, this makes me think ahead for sure.....
Comment by Rachel Drake on January 1, 2012 at 7:46pm I don't think this guy was invited to the wedding... and it makes things tough for couples planning their wedding when they know there are a couple of people who don't get along... I know that me and my fiance are debating this issue with out upcoming wedding, but I can only hope that people can put their differences aside for the sake of someone's special day... but that isn't always the case I guess, seeing this story.
