A Louisiana man has been charged with attempted second-degree murder for shooting two people on his wedding night, according to the local New Orleans newspaper the L'Observateur.

He was still wearing his tuxedo from the wedding when the shooting occurred, according to the same outlet.

Devin Jones, 30, got married on Saturday outside of New Orleans, WGNO reported. His wife's identity is currently unknown to the public, according to People.

On the evening of the wedding, Jones, his bride, and a friend who attended the ceremony were driving down the Bonnet Carré Spillway in Louisiana when they got stuck in traffic, according to The Washington Post.

Jones accused the friend of having an affair with his new wife during the car ride, as Sheriff Mike Tregre from the St. John the Baptist Parish Sheriff's Office told the L'Observateur.

The accusation turned into a fight, with Jones eventually taking out a gun and opening fire on his friend, L'Observateur reported.

The other man fled the car when Jones took out the gun, as reported by WDSU News. Jones shot him in the leg, and he shot another driver in the hand with a stray bullet that flew through a rear window of their car, WDSU News also reported.

Both victims are expected to survive the shooting after being attended to at a local hospital, according to WDSU News.

WDSU News also reported that Jones' bride left the vehicle, and she was able to get into a nearby ambulance after telling EMTs that her husband was trying to kill her.

Jones tried to break into the ambulance to get to his wife, banging on the doors, according to L'Observateur. St. John Baptist Parish Sheriff's Office police arrested him outside of the vehicle shortly thereafter, the outlet also reported.

Jones was charged with attempted second degree murder, aggravated second degree battery, illegal use of weapons, and aggravated criminal damage to property, according to public records on the St. John the Baptist Sheriff Office's website.

"In the craziness of things I've seen in 33 years, that's going to be a top 10, maybe even a top five," Tregre told Fox 8 Live of the shooting.

Jones was still in police custody at the time of writing, as reported by People.

St. John the Baptist Parish Sheriff's Office did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
