I watched that video with sadness. What I see maybe a miscomunnication between the person in question and the Pakistani Rangers. The Pakistani Ranger seems to be telling the person in question to get down for an arrest with pat downs to check for illegal substances and weapons. It's a common police procedure in most countries, especially one that is in near marshal law like state. Unfortunately the person in question perceived that notion as a threat to be shot to death in some way, therefore he pleads for his life trying to put the weapon pointing at him aside. Meanwhile, the Ranger with the weapon pointing to the person in question perceived it it to be a threat because that person was trying to take his weapon away from him, while conducting a routine police procedure for search, therefore shot the young man in the leg (not at the head or abdomen) to make him stop pursuing for the Ranger's weapon. The commanding officer of the unit should have better control and command of his men and the situation. Unfortunately it became a tragic and a valuable learning lessons for all arms profession personnel. I'm sure the Pakistan authorities will encourage more professional procedures for this kind of situation next time.
