Police have arrived on the spot and are combing the area. Bangalore Police Commissioner Ajay Kumar Singh said, "We can't say anything at this stage."
He said it appeared that an automatic weapon was used in the shooting. "There is no information on how they came and who they were."
A state-wide alert has been declared.
