At least seven teachers were killed in a shooting at a school in northwestern Pakistan on Thursday, in an apparent retaliation to an earlier attack in which another teacher was shot dead, Pakistani News channel Geo reported.
Both incidents took place on Thursday in the Parachinar area of Kurram tribal district near the border with Afghanistan, the local television channel said.
It said the motive behind the killings remained unclear.
The tribal district contains a majority Shi'ite population who are often attacked by militant groups as part of the local Taliban movement. Local police said they were gathering more information and investigating the incidents.
