A best man attending a wedding in Minnesota was arrested after he allegedly shot a guest during a tumultuous confrontation at the event, law enforcement reported.
Stephan James, aged 34, reportedly fired shots at a 36-year-old attendee, hitting him in both legs during the altercation on Saturday night as a crowd of over 100 celebrated at Keller Regional Park in Maplewood, roughly 8 miles east of Saint Paul. This information was confirmed by the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office.
