Following the attack, horrifying video surfaced on social media showing multiple injured individuals on the ground while loved ones knelt next to them and yelled for assistance.
“Please save my husband,” a woman begged with her head. Please, please, save him.
According to Indian media, a group of two to three people brandishing guns first demanded visitors to present their identity cards. They allegedly started shooting shortly later.
The dead toll is “still being ascertained,” according to Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, who also stated that “the attack is much larger than anything we’ve seen directed at civilians in recent years.”
In a statement, he declared, “This attack on our visitors is an abomination.” “This attack’s perpetrators are inhuman, animalistic, and deserving of contempt.”
The governor of the territory, Manoj Sinha, who represents New Delhi there, denounced “the cowardly terror attack on tourists.”
