Two people were killed and several others injured by gunfire as Pakistan celebrated their ICC World Twenty20 victory. Thousands poured onto the streets in Pakistan's towns and cities and shots were fired in celebration soon after Younus Khan's side secured an eight-wicket win over Sri Lanka in the final at Lord's. A 10-year-old girl and a young male were accidentally killed in the shooting, the Dawn reported. The girl was watching the celebrations from an upper floor balcony in Nazimabad when she was struck by bullets. She died immediately. A young man was similarly injured near Safoora Chowk and was rushed to a nearby government hospital where he was declared dead. Government hospitals in Pakistan admitted several others with gunshot wounds, the report added.
King Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 Sad.... sad... sad stuff.... Man, the players won the World cup to provide some happy moments not grief. Where is the sanity these days? Honestly there needs to be better gun laws around the world.
Mr. Wicket Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 Laws in Pakistan, Ravi? Not to get political, but it's a country that's disintegrating. Terrorists are regularly aided and abetted - heck, often come about from splinter organizations from the government and nutjob Islamic lunatics. People barely have stable electricity or water in a lot of areas. Gun laws there are a long way off.
King Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 It's sad isn't it? You lose, people die and you win people die too. This time around an innocent 10 year old. Political stuff aside can't people show some common sense? These aren't toy guns :((
CricketGirl Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 Now can you see why i would not want Pakistan to be involved with the India Team? BCCI have a good point!

WTF is wrong with these people ? Who celebrates sporting victories with bullets and AK-47's ? Weren't Sri Lankans also welcomed with guns and grenades ? Was that done in moments of celebration as well ?
Lord Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 Thats Wat Happens Wen Terrorists Win,they Have To Bring In Guns N Bullets Into Everything
vipin Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 Guns and pistols are very common in pakistan. My pakistani friends told me that all and sundry celebrated the victory by firing airshots from their pistols and dancing through the streets.
