SUKKUR: Unknown armed men broke into a house in Mooran Banglani village of Tangwani town in Kandhkot-Kashmore district and shot dead a housewife on Sunday. Her young son sustained bullet wounds in the attack.

Karampur police said that the assailants targeted the woman, Sumbul Khatoon Banglani, and fled after committing the crime.

They took the woman and her wounded son to the Tangwani Taluka Hospital, where doctors declared Sumbul dead on arrival and admitted the boy for treatment.

The police believed that the attack was carried out over an old enmity between two rival groups belonging to the Banglani community.
