Unknown gunmen wound 10 others in Bekkersdal with victims ‘randomly shot’ in the street, police say
Unknown gunmen killed 10 people and wounded 10 others in an attack at a township outside Johannesburg, police said on Sunday, in the second mass shooting in South Africa in December.
The motive for the attack at Bekkersdal, 40km (25 miles) south-west of Johannesburg, was not clear, police told Agence France-Presse.
“Some victims were randomly shot in the streets by unknown gunmen,” a police statement said.
“Ten people are dead. We don’t have a breakdown of who they are,” said Brig Brenda Muridili, police spokesperson for Gauteng province.
