An eyewitness said eight men riding motorcycles opened fire at the bus. They managed to escape after the incident.
However, video footage of the bus did not show bullet holes on the body of the vehicle suggesting that the attackers may have entered and fired.
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and Sindh Chief Minister Syed Qaim Ali Shah have strongly condemned the incident.
Those travelling in the bus belonged to the Ismaili community of the city.
