KATMANDU, Nepal, June 1 — A shootout inside the
Narayanhiti Royal Palace on Friday left at least
nine members of Nepal’s royal family dead,
including the king and queen, police and military
sources said.
CROWN PRINCE Dipendra, 30, opened fire and
shot all the members of the royal family including King
Birendra, Queen Aiswarya and Prince Nirajan, the sources
said. He later shot himself.
The Nepali Times reported that King Birendra’s
private secretary Pashupati Maharjan went to Baluwatar to
pick up the prime minister and bring him to the royal palace.
Royal flight helicopters flew off from Kathmandu airport at
1:30 a.m. local time to Sauraha to bring Prince Gyanendra
to the capital Kathmandu, but returned because of bad
weather.
Sources said among the other dead at the Chauni Army
Hospital are Princess Sruti, Prince Nirajan, Princess

brother-in-law. The crown prince is said to be in critical
condition. Prince Dhirendra was also critically injured, said
