"The moment I arrived, an exchange of fire was taking place, blasts had been heard, smoke was emanating," Talpur, an assistant superintendent, told Reuters. Since the attack a picture of Talpur holding her pistol, flanked by commandos, has gone viral on social media in Pakistan. Once the attack ended, Talpur was among the first police officers to enter the mission and began reassuring the staff. "When I entered there was a Chinese lady and three or four Pakistani men," she recalled. The attack was claimed by Islamic State, but Pakistani authorities blamed it on local militant group Lashkar-e-Jhangvi.
