One of the suspects was hit on the leg while the other one was hit in the head. They were admitted to the Khayelitsha District Hospital,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Daweti, the Somalis are still at large, while their vehicle and that of the suspects are in police custody. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A witness who only identified herself as Nokuphumla said the incident occurred&nbsp;after 14:00.&nbsp;\u201cI was at Japhta Masemola Road approaching Qhayiya (primary school) going to Food Town Hyper in Town Two to buy groceries when the&nbsp;incident occurred. I heard gunshots and I saw people running in between the shacks. I was at a distance, I saw two Somali guys coming out of their vehicle firing some gun shots. I ran for cover,\u201d said Nokuphumla, adding that she turned back. She stated that she didn\u2019t see the people who attacked the Somalis. \u201cI was shaking. I didn\u2019t even go to Food&nbsp;Town. I stayed home for the rest of the day after the incident. I heard some people were injured during the incident but I didn\u2019t see them,\u201d she stated.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nokuphumla appealed for more police visibility in the area citing the high crime rate.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Khayelitsha Police Station officers are investigating the case\u00a0of attempted murder, possession of an unlicensed firearm and
