By Fayaz Bukhari SRINAGAR, India (Reuters) - An Indian soldier shot dead five colleagues before killing himself on Thursday, an army official said, in what investigators said appeared to be a case of stress-related violence in a force dogged by a staffing crunch. India's armed forces, the world's third largest, struggle to fill thousands of vacancies mainly due to difficult conditions and the high risks involved, according to the Defense Ministry. A senior army officer who declined to be identified said initial investigations suggested the shooter was under stress. The shooting comes a day after India's navy chief quit after taking responsibility for a string of operational incidents, the latest of which saw smoke sweep a submarine with two officers still missing. via Health News Headlines - Yahoo News Read More Here..
