WC police beef up deployments after mass shooting on Cape Flats
Police in the Western Cape have “reinforced deployments” in the Bishop Lavis area after seven people were shot and killed on Thursday night.
"The 26 year old female victim who sustained serious head injuries has succumbed to death this morning (Friday)", said police spokesperson Novela Potelwa.
Another person was wounded in the shooting at around 8:40 pm.
Potelwa says an armed suspect entered an informal dwelling in Kogelberg Street in Bishop Lavis on Thursday night and opened fire.
The victims are aged between 24 and 55.
Potelwa said the anti-gang unit is investigating cases of murder and attempted murder, with no arrests made yet.
The latest shooting comes after five people were killed and five others were wounded when gunmen opened fire on people in three cars in Atlantis on Wednesday night as they were returning from the beach.
