Beginning at 6:42 pm, two gunmen, allegedly Sajid Akram and his son Naveed Akram, killed a total of 15 people including 11 men, 3 women and a 10-year-old girl. Sajid was shot dead by police; his son Naveed was treated for wounds at a local hospital and survived. Islamic State later claimed credit for the attack.
