This couple’s honeymoon period is definitely over. Weddings are meant to be a time for love and celebration, but a bride’s big day was ruined when she was arrested on assault charges over an alleged gun incident. Tennessee bride Kate Prichard allegedly pulled a gun out of her wedding dress and put it to her groom’s head during a drunken motel argument, just hours after the wedding. The 25-year-old pointed the 9mm handgun at her new husband James Burton’s head and pulled the trigger, however it was not loaded, police say.

Pointed it at her husband’s head and pulled the trigger,” Sgt. Kyle Evans from the Murfreesboro Police Department told NewsChannel 5. “[The] responding officer let the husband know the honeymoon was over and his new wife was going to jail. “Both were very uncooperative with authorities. It was actually a witness who pointed us in the right direction,” he added. Prichard has been charged with aggravated domestic assault. Desperate bride marries wedding guest instead of groom
A packed commercial airliner en route to Tokyo flew past the location where North Korea’s test intercontinental ballistic missile crashed into the Sea of Japan less than ten minutes later on Friday night, according to a US official cited by ABC news. The American channel reported that Air France flight 293, travelling from Paris with 323 passengers on board, passed west of Hokkaido, Japan’s second largest island and northernmost prefecture, as the North Korean ICBM was airborne. Air France says it constantly analyses flight paths Shortly afterwards, the missile returned to earth in the same area, landing about 93 miles northwest of nearby Okushiri island. Footage captured accidentally by the weather camera of a TV station shows a flash as the Hwasong-14 crosses the sky, suggesting that the missile may have broken up as it re-entered the earth’s atmosphere. In a statement to ABC, the airline said that North Korea’s missile test zones “don’t interfere in any way with Air France’s flight paths,” and that the flight was operated “without any incident.” It added: “Moreover, in cooperation with the authorities, Air France constantly analyses potentially dangerous flyover zones and adapts its flight plans accordingly.” North Korea fires a ballistic missile into the Sea of Japan Credit: EPA/KCNA However, the Pentagon has already cautioned that an unannounced missile test by the rogue regime could pose a potential danger to commercial aircraft and shipping lanes. Friday’s test was Pyongyang’s second ICBM test in the month of July. Both were conducted in absolute secrecy, with no prior warning about timing or location. At the time, Pentagon spokesman Captain Jeff Davis pointed out that the first test on July 4 had been carried out in busy airspace used by commercial airliners.

All of this completely uncoordinated,” he said. In March 2014, a China Southern Airlines plane carrying over 200 people reportedly flew through the trajectory of another North Korean missile test that had been fired minutes earlier. According to reports by the South Korean ministry of defence, the flight took off from Japan’s Narita airport en route to Shenyang in China just seven minutes after the launch of the rocket. “It was a very dangerous situation,” said a defence ministry spokesman.

The rearrest of two of Venezuela’s most prominent opposition leaders in midnight operations has prompted further condemnation of President Nicolás Maduro’s government – which was already accused of attempting to seize absolute power in the crisis-hit country.
