Shot dead
A young man was killed while his brothers and father were wounded when unknown persons barged into their house and opened fire on them.
Baldia Town SPO Shafi Rind said the gunmen barged into the house in Gulshan-i-Ghazi.
The victim, identified as Laeeq, came in front of the gunmen and suffered fatal wounds while his two younger brothers along with their father were also wounded in the shooting.
