The incident occurred in a remote and mountainous village named Zargari in Hangu district of the province, APP said, quoting district coordination officer Fakhar-e-Alam. The shoot-out, which lasted for about half an hour, erupted when one gangster, Gul Muheed, became infuriated and started shooting at jirga members trying to settle a dispute between two groups, APP reported. Muheed, his three sons, and two members of the peace committee were killed while 12 others received bullet wounds. The injured were whisked to a local hospital and some were listed as in critical condition. |
