Gugulethu:- The community of New Crossroads is reeling after yet another brutal mass shooting claimed three lives and left two others wounded on Wednesday night.
The attack took place in Moletsane Crescent, where gunmen ambushed five men believed to be in their thirties. According to Western Cape police spokesperson Colonel Andrè Traut, four armed suspects opened fire before fleeing the scene with stolen cellphones and a firearm belonging to one of the victims.
