Two people in France have been taken into custody after a 27-year-old bride was killed at a wedding party in a village in southeastern France, a source close to the case said on Monday.

The bride was killed when gunmen attacked a wedding party in the tiny village of Goult early Sunday, with one of the assailants also dying during the assault.

Three people, including the 25-year-old groom and a 13-year-old child, were injured in the attack, which plunged the picturesque village into shock.

The violence might be linked to possible drug-related score-settling, according to sources.

At around 4:30 am (0230 GMT) the newlyweds were leaving the party when they were confronted by the masked assailants.

According to another source close to the case, the two men, aged between 20 and 30, have been taken into custody on Sunday, several hours after the attack.

A third attacker is still on the run. Punch
