According to a police source, the four-year-old daughter of the man escaped death while the gunmen sprayed the car with bullets. She was accompanying her father when he went out to drive his sons to school in the morning.

Police rushed to the crime scene after they received a call from the man’s wife that her husband was attacked by a gunman in front of their house.

Preliminary investigation showed that the victim was a retired Civil Defense officer and that he was shot dead soon after he returned to his house after taking his children to school. Police are searching for a suspect and a motive and have taken fingerprints and bullet casings from the scene.
