Homeowner shoots, injures robber
A homeowner in Gulberg thwarted a robbery attempt when a group of robbers tried to break into his bungalow with the intent to steal.
Mansoor, the bungalow owner, took action by opening fire, resulting in the injury of one of the alleged assailants, while the others managed to escape. According to Mansoor’s account to the police, four individuals were attempting to gain entry into his residence.
When one of them entered the house, he fired his weapon in self defence. In response, the intruder also discharged his firearm, causing an injury to the individual who had entered the house. The Crime Scene Unit investigation revealed that the four accused arrived in a white car. They recovered over 15 spent 9mm pistol shells from the scene, with more than 10 found outside the house.
