of bullets into air in the town of Bteghrin.

'Relatives of the groom who [appeared to have shot] the photographer brought the victim to the hospital,' Executive Director at Bhannes Medical Center Michel Chahine told The Daily Star.
But once there, some of the relatives are reported to have inexplicably stormed the hospital and attacked the doctors treating the victim.
One staff member suffered a broken eye socket and will have to himself undergo surgery in the coming days, Mr Chahine said.
He said: 'I honestly do not have an explanation why they did that... They brought a victim of their actions [to the hospital], then began hitting those trying to tend to the victim.'
When asked if there was security at the hospital, Chahine said it has never been necessary due to the calmness of the area.'
'Our doors are open to those in need,' he said. 'We are located in the mountains, in a village, unlike in Beirut.'

He added that the assailants' identities were known and that it was now the Internal Security Forces' responsibility to apprehend them.
The President of the Private Hospitals Syndicate, Sleiman Haroun, condemned the acts of violence, saying: 'Enough is enough.'
Haroun said they would wait a few days but 'if nothing is done [by security forces or the government] they would take a strong position'.
He added: 'We will no longer accept this. I am not going to call anyone out for being responsible, because they know who they are.'
Mr Chahine said the justice and health ministers both contacted him to denounce Friday's attack.
