According to the Express Tribune, 35-year-old Zafarullah Jattak was affiliated with a Quetta-based newspaper.
Jattak was sleeping when the attack occurred. The deceased was working as tehsil reporter for Daily Intikhab.
DSP Khawand Bukhsh said that armed men barged into his home and opened fire. Jattak died on the spot while his killers escaped unchallenged, he added.
It is not yet clear whether it was a case of targetted killing of a media person or a murder linked to an old enmity.
