At least two people were shot dead and three others injured in what police suspect was an enmity-driven assault in Karachi’s Gulistan-e-Jauhar late Monday night, involving multiple shooters.
Shooters, who came on a bike and a car, struck late at night outside a shop in Pehlwan Goth, the police said, quoting eyewitnesses.
Initial findings suggest that multiple weapons were used, as spent bullet casings and a magazine were found at the scene.
The motive is still unknown, and police have launched an investigation.
Majlis Wahdat-e-Muslimeen (MWM) leader Allama Sadiq Jafri condemned the attack and called for the immediate arrest of those responsible.
