Hearing the gunshots, passersby came outside of their homes, some of them armed, but the suspect managed to flee the scene. Upon getting information of the incident, police rushed to the spot to collect forensic evidence and record statements from eyewitnesses. CCPO Lahore Ghulam Mehmood Dogar took notice of the incident and sought a report from SP City, issuing instructions to take strict action against the perpetrators.
