The video taken with a mobile camera by a local shows the injured tourist lying motionless as the firing from the terrorists continued. It is yet to be confirmed if the person lying on the ground in the video is the deceased. The loud noise of the firing could also be heard. The terrorists were firing at the terrorists from the upper reaches of the valley.
