Three individuals entered a home’s garden and started firing during a mass shooting in South Africa, leaving six people dead and four others injured, police said on Wednesday.

According to police spokesman Col. Priscilla Naidu, “it is alleged that three unknown males entered the garden and opened fire at people who were in the property or close to the house.” “At the gate, two females were shot. One of the women died as a result of her wounds, while the other one was shot.

16 people were killed in Soweto, a slum in Johannesburg, last year as a result of many shooters shooting at patrons at a pub.
