KARACHI: At least three people were killed while a four-year-old boy sustained bullet wounds when armed criminals opened fire at them over ‘personal enmity’ in Karachi’s Baldia Town, ARY News reported on Thursday, quoting police.

According to details, the incident took place in Baldia’s Rasheedabad area, wherein armed criminals killed three citizens and shot at and wounded a four-year-old boy.

In a statement, the police said the victims suffered bullet wounds and were shifted to a local hospital for medical treatment.

Superintendent of Police (SP) Baldia said that the preliminary investigation suggests the incident took place due to personal enmity.

Earlier in March, a citizen was shot dead by unidentified assailants over ‘personal enmity’ in Karachi’s Kashmir road area on Thursday.
