They have more video footage now at India Today. I'm not seeing anything being picked up in the US media yet:

For prayer list:

The Injured Tibetan was just identified as Tenzing Dorjee, age 50, and the injured Myanmarese is Vilas Ga, age 30.

Could be at least one other person missing, it sounds like...
