The soldier who had fired was a Private and the other was a Lance Corporal, Military spokesman Brigadier Ruwan Wanigasuriya said.

Military sources said soldiers who were in the vicinity immediately rushed to the scene after they heard the noise of gun shots and found the men lying on the ground with gun shot injuries.
