KARACHI: The vice-principal of the Jinnah Medical and Dental College's student affairs wing was shot and seriously injured on Shaheed-e-Millat Road, police said Thursday.

Police identified the victim as American national Debra Lobo, and said she was attacked by four unidentified gunmen as she left the college premises on Shaheed-e-Millat Road.

She was rushed to a nearby hospital for emergency treatment, where doctors said that she is 'out of danger' after hours of treatment.

SSP East told Dawn.com that a flyer was recovered from the crime scene which appears to be from a militant group, saying the shooting was revenge for the killings of militants in the Kemari encounter this week.

A police official told Dawn.com that 55-year-old Mrs Lobo had left the college at 3:00pm for her home when four gunmen shot her twice in the cheek and shoulder. He added that she hails from California.
