Two people were shot dead and several others injured in yet another tavern shooting on Friday evening, this time in GaRankuwa, Tshwane.
“The motive of the shooting is unknown at this stage and police will be investigating two cases of murder and seven of attempted murder,” said Sello, adding that “anyone who may have information about the incident or the suspects is urged to report at the nearest police station or on the Crime Stop Hotline at 08600 10111 and anonymous tip-offs can also be reported via MySapsapp. All information received will be treated as strictly confidential.”.

Two people died at the scene and two died later while the other eight have been admitted in hospital for treatment.”
