Whole of Lahore mourns the death of 18 year old girl Samra that was shot dead outside Kinnaird College on 17th of October 2011. It is said that Samra and her lover Shams were class mates in their school life and the boy was in love with her since then. Shams tried his luck on many occasions but had to face the disappointment as Samra was not interested in marrying him.

The incident is one of a kind and has not been witnessed since the 98 year history of the college. Both Samra and Shams were seen talking on the head bridge outside college that is used to cross the road. Samra was crossing the road at around 1:45 pm when she was joined by her lover on the bridge. Samra was unaware of the fact that Shams was carrying a loaded weapon with him.

Shams could not resist the negative response as he opened fire and killed Samra on the spot with numerous gunshots, killing himself afterwards. A passer-by was also injured during the incident who explained that he heard four gunshots from the over head bridge in front of the Kinnaird College. He was quoted as saying, “As I reached the overhead bridge on Jail Road in front of KC, I heard four gunshots, one of which injured me.”

Girl’s parents told the police that Shams was after their daughter since a long time as he wanted to marry her. They also mentioned that, they had talked to the boy and advised him to stop following their daughter. Samra was a brilliant student throughout her career whereas Shams used to post advertisements for various companies over the internet. The incident has shattered the city and traffic on both sides of Jail Road Lahore was blocked for hours.

It shows that Shams was very emotional and sentimental in his routine life considering the fact that he shot Samra repeatedly. What he did was wrong, regardless of the fact what faith one belongs to. For Shams however, it appears as if he only believed in love and that was his faith as he failed to follow its preaching.
