Two cruise commanders set out on a field patrol, after a valuable night-vision device had been stolen from them the night before, so they were very alert to any suspicious movement in the field.
The two wanted to see if there was any equipment, weapons or ammunition left in the area where they were practicing.
At the same time, the team commander also carried out a patrol for the same reason.
He apparently did not identify clearly and the officers fired at him in the air.
The officer felt threatened, opened fire on them - and shot them to death.
