Gunmen killed eight people and wounded three others at a birthday party in South Africa's Eastern Cape province, police said, adding that manhunt was underway to find the killers.
The mass shooting was carried out by two attackers and occurred between 5:15 and 5:30 p.m. on Sunday at a house in Kwazakele, Gqeberha, the South African Police Service said in a statement.
"These victims were killed by criminals, and we will not rest until we find out what happened and who was responsible for callous and cold-blooded attack on these unsuspecting victims," said Eastern Cape SAPS Commissioner Nomthetheleli Lillian Mene.
