A 15-year-old girl was wounded in a fatal mass shooting in Rocklands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The teen is the second young victim to be shot in a mass shooting incident in the same street. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Col Andr\u00e9 Traut of the police\u2019s provincial media office said that three people were shot and fatally wounded in the incident in Viscount Street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said police were investigating a case of murder and attempted murder following the shooting on Tuesday 10 March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe deceased have been identified as a 39-year-old woman, a 29-year-old man and a 36-year-old man. A 15-year-old girl who was also shot in the incident sustained injuries and was transported to a nearby medical facility for treatment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Modus operandi<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Traut said a grey vehicle had stopped in front of the residence before three people, their faces covered with balaclavas, entered the house and opened fire before fleeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said the incident was believed to be gang-related. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tuesday\u2019s incident was tragically similar to another mass shooting late last year in the same street. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A 9-year-old boy, a 21-year-old woman and 26-year-old man were all killed in that shooting, on 2 December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exact same modus operandi had been used in both shootings, in which masked men entered the houses and opened fire on the occupants, shooting indiscriminately at children and adults alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, while the shooting in December took place at night, Tuesday’s shooting took place in broad daylight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traut also confirmed that the shootings happened at different houses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investigation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Traut said: \u201cCrime scene experts recovered several spent cartridges and other exhibits which will form part of the ongoing investigation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said that Anti-Gang Unit detectives have taken over the investigation and no arrests have been made at this stage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyone with information has been urged to contact Crime Stop on 08600 10111 or submit information anonymously via the MySAPS mobile application. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAll information received will be treated with the strictest confidentiality,\u201d said Traut.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
