A VOA colleague and I were traveling this morning to Rawalpindi to meet with a high-level official at the Inter Services Public Relations office. The office is located on the premises of the Pakistani Army’s headquarters in a high-security area.
Our meeting was scheduled for noon, and as we got closer to the ISPR offices, we kept getting stuck in traffic.
A military official called my colleague and said there was a loud bang and then gunfire around the premises. We then called an assistant to the official we were going to meet, and he said that they were stuck in the office because there was shooting going on outside.
By that time, we had talked our way through several security checkpoints and arrived about 200 meters from the scene.
