Army Arrests Celebratory Gunfire Suspects after Doctor Injured

The Lebanese army arrested at dawn Wednesday several people suspected of involvement in celebratory gunfire in northern Lebanon that has injured a female doctor, the state-run National News Agency reported.

NNA said the arrests took place during raids that troops carried out in the town of Ehden.

The doctor was wounded in the back from a stray bullet when young men opened celebratory gunfire during a bachelor party, NNA said Tuesday.

She was having dinner at a restaurant near the party's location when the bullet penetrated her lower back.

She was taken to Ehden Hospital where doctors performed a surgery to remove the bullet, the agency added.
