The suspect later pursued them, entered the man’s residence, and opened fire, killing his wife and the man on the spot. An elderly woman, identified as Mashahora Bibi, who tried to intervene and save the two, was critically injured in the crossfire.

She was rushed to the hospital but succumbed to her injuries later. Further investigation is underway.
