He was on ground in an injured condition,” authorities said. A public affairs officer at the US consulate general refused to comment on the incident. “As for the report on the Frontier Constabulary shooting, we refer you to the police/MoI (Ministry of Interior) for any inquiries,” the officer said in an email message. “An investigation is underway to know the reason behind the soldier’s death,” authorities said, adding that he could have committed suicide using his own pistol or might have been killed by an accidental fire.
