Indian cop kills 7 colleagues in Kashmir
An Indian policeman killed seven of his colleagues inside a camp in insurgency-hit India-administered Kashmir on Sunday before being shot dead himself, police said.
The incident took place around 12:40 am (0710 GMT) in northern Baramulla town, 55 kilometers (34 miles) north of Kashmir's summer capital Srinagar.
Police said a constable from India's Central Reserve Police Force opened fire on his colleagues after an altercation broke out.

He said one of the injured died in hospital later while the condition of two others was critical.
Two of those killed were officers, one of whom had scolded the constable on Saturday over alleged indiscipline, the spokesman said.
