Costa Rican officials are investigating why, if there was no ceremonial glass-breaking during Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen's Saturday nuptials, there were so many shards to pick up afterward.
The Central American nation's Judicial Investigation Organization (OIJ) is looking into the alleged shooting in response to an official complaint filed Monday.
Brady's camp has denied any knowledge of how a few of the security guards patrolling the perimeter of their wedding at Gisele's beachfront home ended up firing shots at two photographers, blowing out the rear window of a parked SUV in the process. No injuries were reported.
The photographers involved were Yuri Cortes of Agence France-Presse and Rolando Aviles of Costa Rica's Al Dia newspaper, who told the New York Post that they narrowly escaped the gunfire following a run-in with the bodyguards and a few members of the wedding party.
"Take a picture of me now, you f---er! F--k you!" a camera-shy friend of Brady's supposedly shouted at the photogs after inviting them into the house for a chat.
"He was very angry. It looked like he wanted to attack us," Aviles said.
The shutterbugs said that they had been hired by INF photo agency and had Gisele's neighbor's permission to snap the affair from a spot about 300 feet away from the wedding site.
When Cortes and Aviles were driving off, a .38-caliber bullet shattered their back window.
"The bullet went between us, missing our heads," Aviles told the Post. "If the bullet been a little more to the left or right, it would have killed one of us. I said, 'They're going to kill us,' and that's when I hunched down to cover myself.
"When the glass broke, that's when my friend started driving really fast."
A spokesman for the OIJ told People it's unlikely that, even if charges are filed, the newlyweds will be held responsible for the incident.
