Ahmed and Juliet

KARACHI, Oct 14 (Reuters) - A Pakistani man has committed suicide outside his fiancee's home after he thought he accidentally killed her while trying to persuade her to get married early, police said on Saturday. The man, Ahmed Ashraf, was shooting a gun in the air outside his fiancee's home in the southern city of Karachi on Friday as part of his efforts to persuade her to get married two months early when a stray bullet accidently hit her, police said... "He thought he had killed her and within seconds shot himself. The girl is fine," Hussain said.
Although the bride was wounded, I'd say she successfully dodged a bullet. Note: Shooting guns in the air is a common form of expression in the Middle East and Los Angeles.
