A mass shooting at a house in South Africa left eleven people dead, police said on Tuesday. Among those killed, authorities believe one victim was pregnant.
Police provided few immediate details about the incident, saying only that the deaths occurred at a residential property and that an investigation is under way. No information was released about possible suspects, motives or whether any arrests have been made.
Investigators are working to establish the circumstances that led to the fatal attack and to identify the victims. Police statements did not specify the ages or identities of those killed, nor did they describe any injuries among other occupants of the house.
The killings add to public concern about violent crime in parts of South Africa. Police said they were continuing their inquiries and appealed to anyone with information relevant to the case to come forward as they work to piece together what happened.
