SPA — Unknown gunmen on Thursday shot to death a police officer and his friend in southern district of Karachi. The attacker riding on a motorcycle targeted the police officer, who was standing at a shop with his friend in the Lyari neighbourhood of old Karachi, police said. One bystander was also injured. It was not immediately clear if the shooting was an assassination or a random crime.
| Or a random assassination... |
The police officer was off duty and was in civilian dress when attacked. Two men riding on a motorcycle shot at the shop and riddled him from close range.
| Doesn't sound too random. When I'm out shooting people at random, just a shot or two does it for me. Only when I seriously want to assist someone from this vale of tears do I actually riddle them... |
The officer and his friend died while being transported to a hospital. The third victim was in stable condition at the hospital. The slain officer was associated with the police crime investigation department. The department was established to deal with investigations and was focussing on terrorism.
| Hey! Careful with that feather! You almost knocked me over! |
