According to her initial statement, two unidentified men opened fire before fleeing. Investigators recovered several 9mm pistol shells and empty alcohol bottles from the scene. Authorities are still investigating the motive behind this attack.
In a second incident in Shereen Jinnah Colony, an uncle allegedly shot and killed his two nephews over a long-standing financial dispute. The violence erupted after a jirga, or tribal council, failed to resolve the matter. Police arrested the suspect following the gunfire, which escalated during a scuffle. The deceased were identified as Kamran and Sartaj.
Further separate shootings were reported in Orangi Town, where a young man named Huzaifa was critically injured after being shot in the stomach while resisting a robbery. Local residents intervened, chasing the robbers, subjecting them to mob justice, and later handing them to police.
Additionally, three individuals were injured in a firing incident in Delhi Colony. Police confirmed that investigations into all four incidents, including motives and identities of suspects, are ongoing.
