A popular TV news anchor and mother of two was shot dead by her husband in their home on Sunday – just hours after posting a video to her YouTube channel, police said. 

Rabia Ahsan, 41, was blasted by husband Ahsan Tahir inside their Rawalpindi, Pakistan home around 3 p.m., before being discovered by family, according to reports.

Ahsan, an anchor on the popular Urdu-language news channel 92 News, was killed while her mother and sister were outside the couple’s home, according to local reports cited by the Daily Mail.

The beloved reporter’s sister ran into the couple’s bedroom after hearing the gunshots, where she found Ahsan lying in a pool of her own blood – and her husband allegedly holding a gun.

Ahsan had made a video discussing the United States’ midterm elections and posted it to her YouTube channel just hours before she was killed, according to the outlet. 

First responders discovered that Ahsan suffered a gunshot wound below her neck and another on the right side of her back, before being pronounced dead, according to authorities. 

Cops said they recovered a pistol at the scene, before taking Tahir into custody, according to local reports. 

Tahir reportedly did not have a valid permit to own the pistol. 

When questioned by police, Tahir allegedly copped to shooting, but claimed he didn’t know the gun was loaded and it went off accidentally, Pakistani paper Samaa reported. 

There was no history of domestic disputes between the couple, who lived together and had two children. 

Rawalpindi Police Officer Hassan Mushtaq Sukherea said that “an impartial investigation will be ensured,” as prominent Pakistani officials mourned the reporter’s death. 

“Such incidents demand serious attention and accountability. Women must be able to live and work without fear for their lives,” Pakistan’s First Lady Aseefa Bhutto-Zardari said in a statement.
