Brazilian bridegroom Rogerio Damascena announced to his wedding reception guests that he had a surprise for them. It was a horrible one.
Police said the Damascena then fatally shot his new wife, his best man and himself in front of the guests, the Associated Press reported.
investigator Joao Brito said that the groom hadn't given any indication of any problems at the wedding reception. Brito said Damascena's announcement and the fact that he had hidden the gun in his father's pickup truck, showed the killings were premeditated and not a crime of passion,the AP reported.

Wow! How horrible. Sounds like there is a whole lot more to the story since it was premeditated.
