Man Dies by Suicide After Shooting Wife and Her Relatives in Lahore

LAHORE: A tragic domestic dispute turned violent in Lahore's Ichhra area on Wednesday, where a man reportedly shot and injured his wife, her sister, and her brother before taking his own life.

The suspect, identified as 40-year-old Adnan, visited the residence of his in-laws on Mohammad Ali Road, where his wife had been living after separating from him due to marital differences. According to police officials, Adnan’s actions followed weeks of tensions between the two families. Reports suggest the estrangement stemmed from allegations of Adnan’s involvement with his sister-in-law, which reportedly angered his wife and led to their separation.

Eyewitness accounts revealed that Adnan went to his in-laws' house to reconcile with his wife and convince her to return home. However, his efforts were met with resistance, leading to a heated argument. During the altercation, Adnan allegedly drew a firearm and opened fire, injuring his wife, sister-in-law, and brother-in-law.

Following the shooting, Adnan reportedly turned the gun on himself, dying on the spot. Police were called to the scene, and his body was sent to the city morgue for postmortem examination, while the injured were rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment.

Law enforcement authorities have initiated an investigation into the incident to uncover further details and ascertain any additional factors that may have contributed to the tragedy.

This incident underscores the dire consequences of unresolved domestic conflicts and the urgent need for intervention in cases of family discord.
