Karachi, May 13 (IBNS) At least 47 people were killed and around a dozen seriously injured when armed men entered a bus and sprayed bullets on passengers in Pakistan's Karachi on Wednesday.
 
Reports suggest 25 men and 16 women have been killed. There were around 60 passengers, including children, on the bus. 

Reports quoted witnesses as saying that six men came on three motorbikes, entered the bus and fired indiscriminately. 

"There were six terrorists on three bikes. They got off the bikes, climbed the bus and opened fire using 9 mm rifles," a senior police officer told reporters.

Most passengers were reportedly shot at close range.

The bus driver is believed to have been shot first. 

The bus reportedly belongs to the Al-Azhar Garden Colony, which is an Ismaili community housing project in Karachi.
