12 k!lled, nine injured in mass sh00ting in South Africa

 

Twelve people have been k!lled and nine others wounded following a mass sho0ting at Jumpers Informal Settlement in Cleveland, Johannesburg.

 

It is reported that at about 11:10pm on Tuesday night, police responded to a sho0ting incident at the informal settlement. Upon arrival,  they found numerous people with multiple gunsh0t wounds.

 

Eight men and three women were declared de@d at the scene. One other victim, a man, later succumbed to his injuries in hospital.

 

At least nine other people were transported to various hospitals for treatment.

 

It is alleged more than 10 heavily armed men were dropped off by a white Toyota Quantum just after 8pm. They allegedly entered the informal settlement opening fire on residents at multiple locations, before fleeing the scene in the same vehicle.

 

A resident who spoke to eNCA, said the sound of gunfire rang out for more than an hour as he cowered in the toilet.

 

The resident said shootings in the area were becoming rife and that last month, a community leader was sh0t de@d.

 

A community leader who was hesitant to speak, also fearing for her life, said it was suspected the feud was linked to an illegal mining turf war.

 

"This place is very dangerous. I don't want to say anything because tomorrow, you might find it will be me. It's really painful that people were killed like dogs," the community leader said.
