“The firing happened in front of us,” one witness told broadcaster India Today, without giving his name.
“We thought someone was setting off firecrackers, but when we heard other people (screaming), we quickly got out of there…, saved our lives and ran.”
Meanwhile, in a statement issued today, the Foreign Office said that extended its condolences to the “dear ones of the deceased and wish the injured a speedy recovery”.
Following the incident, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said that “the attack is much larger than anything we’ve seen directed at civilians in recent years”, with the death toll still uncertain.
“This attack on our visitors is an abomination,” he added in a statement.
“The perpetrators of this attack are animals, inhuman and worthy of contempt.”
