Two traffic police personnel were gunned down by two bike-borne unidentified suspects in the Sirki Road area of Balochistan's capital city Quetta in Pakistan on Sunday.
Both the attackers were killed by police in retaliation soon after the incident took place, reported the Express Tribune.
The bodies of the traffic police officers were shifted to civil hospital where they were identified as Abdul Rasheed and Bashir Shah.
According to the report, four passersby were wounded in the exchange of fire between the police and the suspected gunmen.
The wounded have been shifted to the hospital in the area.
Police cordoned off the entire area.
A further probe is under way.
