Mass shooting at house party in South Africa kills 11
–
Neutral summary
Late on Tuesday evening, three gunmen stormed a house in KwaMakhutha township, about 30 km south of Durban, where a party was taking place, and opened fire on the guests. Eleven people, including a pregnant woman, were killed and three others wounded. Thamsanqa Ntuli, premier of KwaZulu-Natal province, said the victims were gathered in the house shortly before 11 p.m. local time when the attackers entered the property and opened fire. Police said ten people, including the woman, died at the scene and four were taken to hospital, one of whom succumbed to gunshot wounds. A manhunt has been launched for the three attackers. Preliminary investigations showed that some of the victims were known to authorities in connection with illegal activities, and a police spokesman said that although the motive could not be confirmed, a feud between rival groupings could not be ruled out. Several outlets, including Channel NewsAsia and Folha de S.Paulo, also suggested the shooting may be linked to gang violence.
