Killing Fields: Police officer gunned down in Quetta
Yet another police officer was shot dead by unknown assailants outside his residence in Killi Kamalo on Friday in what appeared to be an incident of targeted killing.
According to a local police officer, assailants on motorcycle waylaid sub-inspector Sayed Jamal Shah near his residence. He received multiple bullet wounds and died on the spot.
A heavy contingent of police reached the spot and cordoned off the area. The body was taken to Bolan Medical College (BMC) Teaching Hospital for autopsy. “It is a targeted attack. Jamal Shah is the same officer who escaped a remote controlled explosion on Qambarani Road on Thursday.
The police mobile passed a second after the blast and the next police vehicle was damaged in the explosion, killing a policeman and injuring three others,” a senior police officer said.
Earlier in the week, senior police officer Shahnwaz Khan was gunned down near his residence. No group has so far claimed responsibility for Jamal Shah’s killing.
