Says Ajitpal Mangat who directed cricket flick Victory and worked closely with Lankan cricketers

India woke up today to news of a mad man opening fire at the Sri Lanka cricket team bus in Lahore.

The players were heading towards the Lahore stadium for their match with Pakistan and because of the firing, seven players from the team were injured some of them very seriously.

Filmmaker Ajit Pal Mangat relives his account of hearing the dreadful news and his first thoughts after the attacks.

Where were you when you first heard about the shooting?
I was at home and my father-in-law called me to tell me what had happened. I followed the rest of it on the television.
