'Infuriated' constable kills SHO, guard at Quetta police station

The constable was also killed after fire returned at him, police say

QUETTA: A police constable shot dead an SHO, and his gunman on the outskirts of Quetta following an argument on Tuesday.

The incident occurred at Manzoor Shaheed police station on Eastern Bypass when the constable engaged in an argument with the officer, said SP Sariab area, Abdullah Jan Afridi.

Subsequently, the policeman opened fire at the officer, killing him and one personnel, while injuring another, he added.



Earlier on June 28, at least two policemen were killed in Quetta when assailants riding a motorbike opened indiscriminate fire on their vehicle coming towards the city.

Hours later on the same day, armed men opened firing on a police mobile, killing the mobile driver and another personnel on the spot.

Quetta is among the most volatile cities of Balochistan, with police personnel regularly targeted, apparently to fail efforts aimed at restoring law and order in the province.
