Armed people who are armed with rifles and guns shooting people sitting in a shop in the city of Soweto, South Africa in early Sunday, killing 15 and injuring nine, police said.
The massacre occurred shortly after midnight, according to the police who said the group of men entered Orlando East Kedai before “firing randomly to customers”. Unknown armed people escaped from the scene and now in the escape, said the police, added that it was unclear how many were involved in the attack.
South Africa is one of the most cruel countries in the world with 20,000 people killed every year, one of the highest levels of murder per capita globally.
Soweto, near Johannesburg, is the largest of black cities in the country. They are the creation of white minority rules, which ended in 1994 but the widespread poverty heritage and the unemployment of youth lasted almost three decades later.
Local media reported that another shooting at a shop in Pietermaritzburg, about 500 km southeast of Soweto, had killed four people overnight. A police spokesman did not immediately respond to confirmation requests.
