Fourteen people died following a shooting last night in a bar in Soweto, just outside Johannesburg, South Africa, the police said. “We were called shortly after midnight,” said police lieutenant Elias Mawela. Upon their arrival, officers confirmed that 12 people had died, he added, and two others subsequently died from their injuries.
Local police chief Nonhlanhla Kubheka added that 11 injured were taken to hospital, where the other two people Lt. Mawela spoke of died of their injuries. No information about the attackers has been released so far. “They came and shot people who were having fun,” said Kubheka, commander of the Orlando Police Station, the Soweto neighborhood where the tragedy occurred. The police are still on the scene and have not made any arrests so far.
