QUETTA: Gunmen barged into a house near the Hub city hotel area of Lasbela district and opened indiscriminate fire, killing a married couple and their three-year old son.

The attackers managed to escape unchallenged after the firing.

“Armed men barged into Azeem Langove’s house and opened indiscriminate fire which resulted in the death of the three victims,” police officials said.

Rescue workers and security forces moved the bodies to the district hospital for autopsy.

“The horrific shooting may have been triggered by a family dispute. We have lodged a first information report (FIR) against unidentified persons,” police officials added.

The bodies were later handed over to their relatives for burial while the family didn’t nominate any accused for the killings.
