At least 11 killed, others injured in South Africa mass shooting
Not less than 11 people were killed and about 14 injured in a mass shooting at a hostel in South Africa.
On Saturday, gunmen stormed Saulsville township in Pretoria, shooting sporadically where people were drinking.
Police spokesperson, Brigadier Athlenda Mathe, said, “At least three unknown gunmen entered this hostel where a group of people were drinking and they started randomly shooting.”
“I can confirm that a total of 25 people were shot,” Ms Mathe said, describing the hostel as an “illegal shebeen.”
Children, a three-year-old, a 12-year-old boy and a 16-year-old girl, were among those killed in the shooting.
No arrest has been made and the motive of the shooting is still unknown.
