Yes.
Several survivors have publicly confirmed that Dipendra was doing the shooting, as was documented in a BBC documentary
Dipendra reportedly assassinated family members because of anger over a marriage dispute. Dipendra's choice for a bride was Devyani Rana, a member of the Rana clan, with whom the Shah family of kings have an historic animosity. The Rana clan had served as the hereditary prime ministers of Nepal until 1951, with the title Maharaja, and the two clans had a long history of inter-marriages.
According to official accounts, Dipendra was denied his choice of a wife by his mother, and so he massacred his family in a much-publicised incident after indulging in a drinking binge. Among the dead were his father King Birendra, mother, brother, and sister. Dipendra survived comatose for three days, and was proclaimed king in his hospital bed. He died of his injuries on June 4 and was succeeded by his uncle, Prince Gyanendra.
Gyanendra had been third in line to the throne before the massacre. He was out of town (in Pokhara) during the massacre and was the closest surviving relative of the king. Gyanendra's son, Crown Prince Paras, was reportedly in the royal palace during the massacre but escaped injury.
Conspiracy theories circulate in Nepal about the deaths. It has been suggested that instead Gyanendra had ordered the massacre of King Birendra and his family so that Gyanendra and his own family could succeed. It cannot be purely coincidental, goes the theory, that Gyanendra's son and wife escaped. However Gyanendra's wife was severely injured in the shooting.

no,
why 'd anybody wipe out everybody( all other possible heir to crown except an evil man and his family ) in his clan including his own parents, innocent sister who was pregnant, brother, but yet keep alive one of his father's brother ( Gyanendra was unharmed, his wife had a fake injury, his daughter was fine and son Paras was intact, Paras' wife was fine, e....etc.
Prince Dipendra who was educated in a preeminent Eton College of Berkshire, England in the same college where Crown Prince Williams of UK and even Winston Churchill went, surely would not be so insane.
It's a common sense. The whole world has been fooled and has been forced to believe a lie....
it's shame that something so heinous has happened and the whole world and its powerful rulers are in pin drop silence..like an imbecile....
The international community is so weak, and coward
FBI does not care, international peace organization..do they exist?
