Imran Khan waves to supporters after being shot in the leg in ‘assassination attempt’

Imran Khan was seen waving at his supporters after he was shot in an apparent assassination attempt during a protest march.

The former Pakistani prime minister was filmed greeting the crowds after he was wounded in the foot by a gunman who opened fire.
