Rohtak: Two armed men stormed into a hospital in Rohtak in Haryana last night and opened fire inside the emergency ward, killing two people on the spot.

Praveen, one of the two killed in the firing, had come to BG Sharma Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences to see his brother who had been injured in an accident.

Hospital security guards tried to catch the assailants but they managed to escape after killing one of them as well.

"The man came in and shot at the patient's attendant. Then he pushed the guard to the corner and shot him point blank twice. We ran after him, he fired back thrice. Nobody knew that firing was going on. We screamed but nobody came to help," said one of the security guards.

A third person, an attendant of another patient, was also injured in the firing.
