Pakistan's ex-Prime Minister Imran Khan was shot in the foot at a rally Thursday, according to an official from his party, which said the incident was an assassination attempt.
A bullet hit Khan in his foot after a gunman opened fire, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) senior leader Asad Umar said.
The former Pakistan cricket captain was taken from the rally site just outside the town of Gujranwala to receive treatment in Lahore.

Police said they detained a man suspected of firing shots at the rally. The male suspect was arrested with a 9mm pistol and two empty magazines, police said.
At least one person was killed in the incident, according to Faisal Javed, a senior PTI politician and close Khan ally who received a wound to the head in the attack. The victim's name has not been released.

In a video statement Javed, who can be seen sitting up while receiving treatment, said: "Please pray for us, for Imran Khan, pray for our fellow workers who are severely injured and pray for our party member who has died and is martyred."

Many other people were injured by gunfire.

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, who came to power after Khan lost a parliamentary vote of no confidence in April, condemned Thursday's attack on his political rival on Twitter.

"I condemn the incident of firing on PTI Chairman Imran Khan in the strongest words," Sharif wrote, adding that he has asked for an "immediate report on the incident" and will pray for the recovery of those injured.

"Violence should have no place in our country's politics," Sharif wrote.
