Unidentified gunmen on Wednesday killed five people here in an apparently ethnically motivated attack, police said. The incident took place late Wednesday in a market. Senior police official Aitzaz Goraya told AFP that two gunmen on motorbike opened fire on two shops in the market, killing four shopkeepers on the spot and critically wounding three others.
One among the injured later succumbed to his injuries in hospital, Rashid Jamali, a doctor in the government-run hospital, told AFP. "(The) condition of another shopkeeper is also critical and he is undergoing surgery," Jamali said. Goraya said one of the injured was from the minority Hindu community. "We are investigating but apparently it is an ethnically motivated attack," Goraya said.
