A school teacher was gunned down by unidentified assailants on Thursday in the North Karachi area of the metropolis.
According to the police, the incident took place near a government school where the suspects, riding a motorcycle, opened fire on the teacher’s car. As a result, the teacher was killed while his son sustained injuries.
The teacher identified as Salman was a 16th-grade teacher in a primary school and was affiliated with a political party. Police said that Salman had gone to pick up his son Saboor from the school where he was attacked; however, his wife — who was also sitting in the car — narrowly escaped the attack.
The father-son duo was rushed to the hospital but Salman couldn’t survive as he was shot in the face, head, and other parts of the body.
