Three Indian paramilitary soldiers were killed by a comrade who opened fire at a military camp near Srinagar, the capital of Indian-administer Kashmir, a district police chief said Sunday. The shooting followed an altercation between the men, Maqsood ul Zaman, the police chief, said.
"Following an altercation between two troopers in the barracks, one of them opened indiscriminate fire at his colleagues," Zaman said.
The shooting occurred late Saturday at a paramilitary camp in Kulgam, south of Srinagar, he said.
In addition to those killed, a fourth soldier was wounded, Zaman said.
