They were shot dead by unidentified assailants and their bodies discovered shortly after midnight on Sunday in the Memon Goth area of Karachi, police said.

Witnesses reported the assailant ran toward Downey High School, prompting a lockdown of both the library and high school, police said.

Prosecutors said it was not known who had pulled the trigger but that the assailants had all teamed up in a "criminal plan".
