KARACHI, March 13: Four people, including a woman, were killed on Thursday in acts of violence in parts of the city.

Nabi Bux police said a 25-year-old man and a 50-year-old woman were killed near Bukhari Mazaar when unknown attackers opened fire. Bodies of Umair, resident of Usmanabad, and Ganga Devi, resident of Punjab Colony, were shifted to the Civil Hospital for autopsies.

Hospital sources said that the young man received three bullets, two in upper torso, and the woman received a single bullet in her abdomen.
