A gunman first opened fire at a house and then at a university medical centre, the BBC reported.

Two individuals -- a 39-year-old woman, and a 42-year-old teacher, were killed in the two locations.

A police officer told the media that the 14-year-old daughter of the woman was also shot and is seriously injured, the BBC reported.
