New Delhi: The Pakistan police on Wednesday informed that in the firing incident in Karachi city, one Chinese national lost his life, and two were injured. The unidentified men opened fire at a crowded market in Pakistan’s Karachi.
According to the media report, one person was killed in the incident and two others were shifted to a local hospital, where their condition was stated to be critical. All three were Chinese nationals.
The police identified the victims as 25-year-old RonilD Raimond Chaw, 72-year-old Margrade, and 74-year-old Richard. SSP (South) Asad Raza said that the attacker, in his early 30s, entered the clinic located in Karachi’s Saddar area pretending to be a patient and opened fire inside the doctor’s room.
“The attacker killed the assistant, Ronald Chow, on the spot and injured dentist Dr Richard Hu Lee (74) and his wife Margaret (72),” the officer said.
Both the doctor and his wife had been running the dental clinic for a long period of time and had not received any threats, Raza said. SHO Saddar police station Bashir Ahmed said the doctor and his wife were out of danger at the hospital where they are being treated for bullet wounds.
He said police have recovered several 9mm pistol shells from the clinic. Bashir said they are investigating the motive behind the attack. “It appears the assailant had some dispute with the doctor and his wife,” he said. Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah has ordered the immediate arrest of the attackers, saying such incidents were not tolerable, according to the official statement. He has also sought a detailed report from the Karachi Additional IGP.
