KARACHI: At least twelve more people have been gunned down and several others injured within few hours after midnight in the metropolis, Geo News reported Thursday.
The death toll in the fresh spate of targeted killings has climbed to 42 including a five-year-old child within three days while situation in Baldia Town is still tense.

A man was shot dead and seven injured in Sarjani town while unidentified armed men injured two in Shah Faisal colony and Nazimabad.
A security official said several neighbourhoods were still tense and sounds of intermittent gunfire could still be heard.
Local residents complained they were virtually confined to their homes because of indiscriminate firing.
"Many people here had run out of their food stocks. There is no milk for children and no chance of patients being shifted to hospitals for treatment," said Mohammad Asghar, a schoolteacher in the Orangi area.
"We are left at the mercy of trigger-happy scoundrels and the security forces are conspicuous by their absence," he added.
Karachi death toll reaches 42 in 3 days
