Two brothers killed and three injured in a gun attack as a tragic incident occurred in Haroonabad neighborhood of SITE Area, Karachi, on Monday.
As per local police reports, early on Monday morning, unidentified individuals opened fire on the victims. The incident occurred in the victims residence.
According to the police, one of the injured brothers said that four to five armed men broke into their house and started shooting. He said that nothing was looted and they had no enmity with anyone.
Two of the injured, Asadullah and Samiullah, later succumbed to their wounds. While three others are receiving medical treatment at Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre, police reports say.
The injured brothers have been identified as Ikramullah, Ameer Abdullah, and Shafiullah.
Police noted that all the brothers, except Ameer Abdullah, were government employees. No valuables were taken by the assailants, and no robbery was reported. The brothers all lived together in the same residence.
Initial investigations suggest that the shooting may be linked to a recent altercation involving the children of the deceased and injured brothers. The children had gotten into a dispute with some boys from the area the day before the incident.
Although the situation was resolved through reconciliation, police suspect that the shooters could be the same boys involved in the previous conflict.
Authorities are now gathering more details from the injured brothers to further investigate the incident.
