MASTUNG: At least four people were killed and another injured in a firing incident in Mastung district of Balochistan province on Tuesday, according to police. 

The police said the shooting took place in main bazaar of the Mastung city. The dead and injured were moved to Civil Hospital Mastung. The police cordoned off the area and were collecting evidence at the crime scene. The killings came hours after three suicide bombers stormed a police training college in Quetta, killing 61 and injuring over 100.

The attack was claimed by the militant Islamic State group (Daesh). The prime minister, the military high command and the opposition politicians are visiting the provincial capital following the deadly attack on police.
