ATLANTIS \u2013 Woensdagmiddag (25 Februarie) was nie soos enige ander dag in Atlantis nie. Dit het in hartseer en trauma vir baie ge\u00ebindig toe skieters op \u2019n taxi-eienaar voor die Atlantis Sekond\u00eare Skool losgebrand het. Een leerder is doodgeskiet en twee leerders is in die proses gewond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die koe\u00ebls was na bewering bedoel vir Eugene Titus (42), algemeen bekend as \u201cSpoed\u201d. Hy het voor die skool vir sy passasiers gesit en wag toe onbekende mans, wat vermoedelik reeds \u2019n geruime tyd voor die skool rondgedrentel het, op hom toegeslaan het. <\/p>\n\n\n\nDie hartseer toneel voor die skool.

Volgens kapt. Lisa Munro, polisiewoordvoerder, is Titus verskeie kere geskiet, terwyl ‘n 14-jarige graad-8-leerder wat van die koe\u00ebls probeer wegkom het, verskeie kere in die bors getref. Hy het op die skoolterrein voor ander leerders inmekaargesak en gesterf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens \u2019n betroubare bron het Titus verlede week ‘n soortgelyke aanval oorleef, waarna hy glo al verskeie kere weer met die dood gedreig is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Twee dubbele moorde op Atlantis in minder as 24-uur het die dorp behoorlik op hol. Twee mense, waaronder \u2019n taxieienaar en \u2019n taxibestuurder, is Dinsdag 24 Februarie doodgeskiet. Volgens Munro het die voorval vroegaand by die taxistaanplek in Witsand plaasgevind. Een man het op die toneel aan verskeie skietwonde beswyk, terwyl die ander slagoffer kort daarna in die Wesfleur-hospitaal gesterf het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit bring die aantal slagoffers in voortslepende taxigeweld in Atlantis op vier te staan. Die tweede voorval voor die skool, wat volgens bronne \u2019n wraakaanval was, het die Atlantis-gemeenskap tot in sy fondamente geskok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die polisie het bevestig die voorval is n\u00ed\u00e9 bendeverwant nie, maar deur die taxigeweldeenheid ondersoek. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens \u2019n ingeligte bron was die twee oorledenes in Witsand lede van Cape Amalgamated Taxi Association (CATA), terwyl Spoed \u2019n lid van die Congress of Democratic Taxi Associations (CODETA) was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Met emosies wat hoog loop en \u2019n sterk polisieteenwoordigheid, het WeskusNuus <\/em>verneem dat skole vandag hul leerders vroe\u00ebr huis toe gestuur het. Volgens die hoof van die Atlantis Sekond\u00eare Skool is die skool vandag gesluit en berading is deur die departement van onderwys beskikbaargestel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
‘n Afvaardiging van die Stad Kaapstad het ook vanmiddag die dorp besoek om met die polisie en die gemeenskapspolisi\u00ebringsforum te beraadslaag.<\/p>\n\n\n\nRaadslede en gemeenskasleiers gesels met Glodine Smith van die Atlantis-gemeenskapspolisi\u00ebringsforum.

Foto: Murphy Roberts<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Munro is daar nog geen verdagtes in een van die voorvalle in hegtenis geneem nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WeskusNuus <\/em>het verneem dat een van die leerders wat in die rug getref is, tans buite gevaar is en in die hospitaal aansterk. Die ander leerder is vir sy wonde behandel en reeds ontslaan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
