They have been identified as Majid Ulro, Dhani Bux Ulro, Gullan Ulro and Azam Jatoi.
The incident occurred within the jurisdiction of Faiz Muhammad Bandho Police Station in a riverside village.
Local residents reported that gunfire between both sides continued for more than an hour until a large police contingent arrived. Hafiz Ghulam Abbass Ulro told media that his men were sowing wheat on Thursday morning when the Jatois allegedly launched an unprovoked attack.
