Police in northwestern Pakistan say a student shot and killed his college principal on campus on Monday after accusing him of blasphemy.

The incident occurred at the private Islamic College in the northwestern town of Charsadda. The shooter was arrested, according to area police chief Zahoor Afridi.

Afridi explained that the slain principal, Sareer Ahmed, reprimanded one of his students for skipping classes to attend an Islamist rally supporting Pakistan’s blasphemy laws. The argument angered the student, who fired six shots at Ahmed. Police arrived at the campus and took the shooter into custody along with his weapon. An investigation has been launched.
