Pippa Middleton's friend apologizes for gun incident

A friend of Pippa Middleton's, the sister-in-law of Britain's Prince William, apologized Wednesday for an incident in which a friend of his brandished a toy gun at press photographers in Paris.

Arthur de Soultrait said he, Middleton and a friend of his were in a car being followed by paparazzi on Saturday when the unnamed friend waved the toy pistol at the photographers.

Middleton "had no idea he was going to do that and told him to stop immediately. She did not find it funny," de Soultrait said in a statement.
