According to the Express Tribune, 35-year-old Zafarullah Jattak was working for a Quetta-based newspaper.
Jattak was asleep when the attack took place. The deceased was working as tehsil reporter for Daily Intikhab.
DSP Khawand Bukhsh said that armed men barged into his home and opened fire. Jattak died on the spot while his killers escaped unchallenged, he added.
Officials investigating the matter say that the reason is not yet clear whether it was a case of targeted killing or a murder linked to personal enmity.
