RAWALPINDI: At least three people were killed in a firing incident at a district court in Rawalpindi on Saturday, reported Express 24/7.
Around 3-4 unidentified gunmen opened fire at a man named Chaudhry Shaukat and his brother who were leaving the court after the hearing of a case, reported Express 24/7 correspondent Syed Ali.
The police said that the incident can be of personal enmity, while the miscreants managed to flee the scene.
One passer-by also succumbed to the gun wounds.
Earlier in July, in a similar incident, a teenager opened fire at two murder suspects outside a courtroom in Rawalpindi. Seven people were injured in the incident.
The district courts complex does not have a main gate, as it was broken around 19 months ago during the lawyers movement. Anyone can enter the complex through a security gate which is out-of-order as well. The 50 or so CCTV cameras installed there are also not working adequately. Of the 12 entry points to the courts, only two have walk-through gates, both of which are are out-of-order.
