One of the civilian who was killed is Koneswaran Muththiah. Other civilian who died in the shooting has not been identified yet.

Selvakumar who was standing 100 metres away was also shot by the attackers and he was injured in his leg. He managed to escape by running away.

Reports say that Sri Lankan security forces who were on duty in the area vacated the place just before the attack.

Sri Lankan military has a road block near the location of the incident and it has been checking vehicles passing by. An elderly onlooker who does not want to be identified said that the white vehicle with the gunmen was stopped at this military checkpoint. However, when the gunmen said something the vehicle was allowed to proceed immediately.

Angry people are demanding the military to vacate the area. They are saying that there is no need for military presence in their area. Police can carry out the investigations. People are saying that such incidents have increased only after large number of security personnel has been brought into the area.

When the police suggested that the attack was by the Karuna group angry people asked how they managed to get into the area under their control.
