Pakistan's ex-Prime Minister Imran Khan shot in the leg during protest

Former Prime Minister Imran Khan sustained a bullet injury in his leg after a gunman opened fire where he was leading a rally in Wazirabad on Thursday, according to Al-Jazeera.

Azhar Mashwani, an official with Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party, said that Khan was shot in the leg but was not in danger.

Mashwani, however, disclosed that there were six others, including another politician, Faisal Javed Khan,  also reportedly injured in the attack.

Khan, who had been leading a protest march to the capital, Islamabad, demanding snap elections, was taken to a hospital in Lahore.

As per the report, the identity of the gunman, who was arrested by police at the scene, was not revealed and no group has claimed responsibility for the attack.
