MIANWALI: Three women were among four dead when gunmen opened fire at them over a land dispute in the Rogan area of Mianwali.
According to police, the women died at the spot while a man wounded in the firing succumbed to his injuries in the hospital.
Police have started an investigation to arrest the suspects.
Killings over land disputes, including by family members, are routinely reported in the country.
At least 13 people were killed in July last year while more than twenty injured during an exchange of fire between two armed groups of the Jatoi tribe in Shikarpur.
Police said the scuffle was the result of a long enmity between the two groups over a land dispute, which had already claimed six lives in the past five years.
