Four men and two women were killed on the scene while others were rushed to hospital, where the woman passed away this morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Brigadier Novela Potelwa, police spokesperson, at approximately 20:40 an armed suspect entered an informal dwelling in Kogelberg Street and fired several shots at the occupants. \u201cMurder and attempted murder dockets were opened for investigation with Anti-Gang Unit detectives investigating the cases.
