Sunday, September 29, 2024 –Seventeen people have been killed in a brutal mass sh00ting in the remote town of Lusikisiki, Eastern Cape, South Africa.
According to reports from the BBC,
police confirmed that two homesteads were targeted in the attack.
In one of the locations, at least 12
women and one man were killed, while three women and one man were murd£r£d at
the second site. An 18th victim is in critical condition and receiving
treatment at a hospital.
South African police have launched a
manhunt for the perpetrators of the attack, but no arrests have been made so
far. Senzo Mchunu, the Police Minister, is expected to visit the area and
provide updates on the ongoing investigation.
Local media report that the victims
were preparing for a traditional mourning ceremony in memory of a mother and
daughter who were murdered a year ago. The group was packing goods and
presents, including furniture, for the event when the gunmen attacked on Friday
night.
“The gunmen came and shot randomly, killing
everyone. Women and children were also killed in the bloody shooting,” the
reports stated, leaving the local community in fear.
Authorities are yet to establish a
motive behind the attack, and investigations are continuing.
