South Sudan's Education Minister Deng Yai has been talking to the BBC Focus on Africa radio about what happened in Juba today.
He said that President Salva Kiir and Vice-President Riek Machar were holding a meeting at the presidential palace when the shooting broke out.
They were discussing Thursday's incident when five soldiers loyal to the president were shot by troops loyal to the vice-president.
Mr Yai said the killing was a result of a misunderstanding.
He added: "The leaders were trying to resolve what happened [on Thursday] and establish a mechanism to stop a repeat of such incidents".
