Imran khan former Prime Minister Pakistan shoot at rally injured

Pakistan's former Prime Minister Imran Khan was at a rally in Lahore, Pakistan, when one shooter opened fire on him leaving injured.

The shooter caught by police said that he wanted to kill former prime minister and PTI chief Imran Khan because "he was misleading the public.

"I tried my best to kill him. I wanted to kill Imran Khan only and no one else."

Reports suggest there were two shooters, one with a pistol and one with an automatic rifle.

Khan was injured when an unidentified gunman opened fire on the container-mounted truck carrying him during his protest march in Pakistan's Punjab province, but he was out of danger in what his party claimed was an "assassination attempt."

The incident occurred near Allahwala Chowk of Wazirabad town in Punjab when Khan was leading the long march to Islamabad demanding early elections.

Asad Umar, the senior leader of Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party, told the media that a bullet hit Khan's leg. "Khan is being taken to Lahore by road. He is not critical but he received a bullet injury," Umar said, adding that Khan's opponent couldn't see Pakistan being transformed. He, however, didn't blame anyone for the attack.

Senator Faisal Javed, who was injured when a bullet grazed his face, said that a party worker was killed during the attack, while another was severally injured.
