Minnesota best man charged after shooting guest at Maplewood wedding

Stephan Andrew James, the best man at a wedding held at Keller Lake Regional Park in Maplewood, Minnesota, was arrested and charged with assault after allegedly shooting a man who was uninvited to the wedding and engaged in a confrontation with the groom. The victim, who was shot in both legs, was reportedly at the wedding to pick up his family and to confront the groom about missing a funeral, leading to an argument witnessed by several attendees. James reportedly intervened in the altercation, pulled out a handgun, and fired two shots before fleeing the scene with a woman and three children. Police later found James, who had cut his dreadlocks and was in possession of two guns, one reportedly stolen, and linked ammunition casings to the shooting. James admitted to being at the wedding but denied being aggressive and requested an attorney during questioning. The victim is expected to survive, and James is currently held in Ramsey County Jail facing first and second-degree assault charges.
