Police in South Africa on Wednesday said gunmen had opened fire in the Cleveland area, leaving nine others injured.
Officers said more than 10 suspects are being sought after the Tuesday evening attack at the Jumpers informal settlement.
Police said the gunmen arrived in a white Toyota Quantum, entered from two access points and fired at multiple locations before fleeing in the same vehicle. The motive remains unclear.
South Africa has one of the world’s highest murder rates, averaging about 60 killings per day.
The attack has underscored persistent violence in informal settlements and the challenge of policing heavily armed groups.
