KARACHI: Two separate shooting incidents in different areas of Karachi resulted in two fatalities on Tuesday, according to local police authorities. The violent events occurred in Orangi Town and Mominabad, leaving communities shaken and law enforcement agencies investigating the motives behind these targeted attacks.
Orangi Town Shooting Claims Young Man's Life
In the first incident, 25-year-old Abdul Hadi fell victim to a fatal shooting in Orangi Town's Sector 11 1/2 area. The young man was reportedly standing near a local shop when unidentified assailants opened fire on him. The attack proved immediately fatal, with Hadi sustaining multiple gunshot wounds to critical areas of his body.
Local law enforcement responded quickly to the scene, with police personnel from the Pakistan Bazaar Police Station arriving to secure the area and begin their preliminary investigation. The body was transported to a nearby medical facility for necessary legal procedures and eventual handover to the grieving family.
Police officials confirmed that the motive behind this targeted killing remains unclear at this early stage of the investigation. Forensic teams collected evidence from the crime scene while investigators began questioning potential witnesses who might have observed the attack or the perpetrators' escape.
Second Fatal Shooting in Mominabad Area
In a separate but similarly tragic incident, 40-year-old Abdul Rehman became the victim of another shooting attack, this time in the Mominabad area. The attack occurred within the jurisdiction of the Mominabad Police Station, adding to the day's violence across Karachi.
According to initial police reports, unidentified gunmen targeted Rehman, firing multiple shots that resulted in fatal injuries. Emergency services transported the victim to a local hospital, where medical professionals pronounced him dead upon arrival.
Law enforcement authorities from the Mominabad Police Station have launched a comprehensive investigation into this second killing. Police sources indicated that they are exploring various possible motives, including personal enmity and other potential reasons that might have led to this violent act.
