Karachi man claims he shot himself and a pregnant woman but the police believe otherwise

Photo: AFP The Karachi police are investigating a strange firing incident in North Karachi's Sector 11 that resulted in a man and pregnant woman being injured. The man says he opened fire but the police say his bullet wounds couldn't have been self inflicted. They have arrested his father because they believe he was involved. The woman, identified as Iqra, was critically injured and lost her baby. The man, Kashan, says he shot her and then himself. But he was shot in his back and the police say it is very difficult, if not impossible, to shoot yourself in the back.
