Pakistani authorities now believe that a gunman “singled out and targeted” an ethnically Chinese-owned dental clinic in Karachi in an attack that killed one and injured two.

Police say all three of the victims were dual Chinese-Pakistani nationals. The couple that owns the clinic, both in their 70s, were injured in the shooting, while the clinic’s 32-year cashier was killed.
