terrible! There was a shooting case in South Africa a few days ago. A group of armed men stormed into a family’s home. A total of 7 women and 3 men were killed. The suspect has been arrested by the police.

According to comprehensive foreign media reports, this family of 10 was attacked and killed by gunmen in their home in Pietermalitzburg. Police Minister Bheki Cele said bluntly on the South African Broadcasting Corporation: “This is a crime scene, it’s terrible. Too many people have lost their way here.”

Police spokesman Jay Naicker pointed out that when they arrived at the scene, they found 10 members of a family who had been fatally shot, and some people saw the bodies of the victims being loaded into the car by ambulance workers. One gunman was suspected of being shot dead by the police on the spot. In addition, two suspects were arrested and the guns used were also detained. However, the police have not disclosed the motive for the shooting. The forensic doctor is conducting an autopsy to collect relevant evidence.

Mabhungu Mkhize, a member of the constituency, confirmed that he received a call at 4 a.m. in the local area, telling him that there was a shooting. When he rushed to the scene, he could not see clearly because it was dark, but he learned from the police that there were 10 people “We don’t know if any children were killed,” and said that violent crimes often occur in the community, but such a large-scale murder has never occurred. “This is no different from a massacre.”

In fact, shooting incidents happen very often in South Africa. A few days ago, in a house in Durban, four people were shot dead. The report pointed out that South Africa has one of the highest murder rates in the world. About 20,000 people are killed every year out of a population of 60 million, which is appalling.
