Three persons fired at two locations in northeast Delhi within ten minutes, killing a man and injuring another person during the early hours of Saturday, news agency PTI reported.

The accused fired at Welcome's Kabir Nagar, fled in a scooter and fired at a house in Jyoti Nagar as well.

Police said the first accused fired at a person in Welcome's Kabir Nagar around 1 am. The accused looted the victim's scooter, rode to neighbouring Jyoti Nagar and fired at a house.

A police team was rushed to the scene upon receiving information about the incident.

The team found three empty cartridges and a motorcycle lying on the roadside. Upon initial enquiry, the police found that the motorcycle belonged to one of the accused, who fled the area with the help of a scooter belonging to one of the victims.
