LAHORE, Oct 20: Robbers shot at and wounded three people, including an Edhi volunteer, and looted over Rs1 million from them in separate hits here on Thursday.

Two robbers, riding a motorcycle, intercepted an Edhi Foundation ambulance in Muslim Block of Allama Iqbal Town and attempted to loot a cash bag from the employees at gunpoint.

An Edhi spokesman said foundation’s supervisor Nasiruddin (55), who was going to Moon Market to deposit Rs1 million cash in a bank, offered resistance to the robbers who opened fire.
