\u2019n Rustige Sondag n\u00e1 kerk het in \u2019n tragedie ontaard toe \u2019n skietvoorval op 2 Junie in Louwville afgespeel het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die 22-jarige Shannon Diedericks is helder oordag in Maclonstraat, Louwville, geskiet \u2013 d\u00edt nadat Diedericks vroe\u00ebr die oggend gedoop is en ook op die dag van sy seuntjie se inse\u00ebning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy ma, Carmen Diedericks, vertel dat Shannon en \u2019n vriendin huis toe gestap het toe die skietery omstreeks 12:00 gebeur het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHulle het so \u2019n entjie geloop toe sien hy die man agter hulle. Hy het vir sy vriendin ges\u00ea dit lyk asof die man \u2019n vuurwapen het. Hy het toe padgegee van haar af en dis toe die man agter hom die kans geneem het om hom te skiet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit is nie net skokkend omdat dit deur die dag gebeur het nie, maar ook omdat hy uit die kerk uit gekom het. Hy het \u2019n besluit gemaak om die Here aan te neem in sy lewe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Carmen s\u00ea nadat die verdagte Diedericks in die rug geskiet het, het Diedericks na \u2019n ander kerk se terrein in dieselfde straat gehardloop, waar hy inmekaargesak het. \u201cDie man het hom met die vuurwapen gekap \u2013 twee houe agter die kop \u2013 en weer vier keer probeer skiet, maar die vuurwapen het vasgehaak.\u201d Die gemeente van di\u00e9 kerk het uitgekom en vir Diedericks begin bid totdat die ambulans gekom het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Carmen beskryf Diedericks as \u2019n mense-mens. \u201cHy het duisende vriende, ken almal en almal ken hom, maar ken nie die man wat hom geskiet het nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Diedericks het twee operasies ondergaan en sterk tans in \u2019n hospitaal in Kaapstad aan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hierdie voortslepende geweld in die gemeenskap sit nie wel met inwoners nie nadat nog \u2019n skietery verlede Saterdag (25 Mei) aangemeld is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Norman van Wyk, \u2019n gemeenskapsaktivis en wykskomiteelid, s\u00ea met die onlangse geweld voel baie dat Suid-Afrika heeltemal wetteloos geword het. Van Wyk se een seun is verlede jaar ook in daglig in Witteklip aangerand en vermoor (\u201cLocal leader\u2019s son killed\u201d, Weslander<\/i>, 31 Augustus 2023).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Van Wyk s\u00ea gemeenskaplede voel die polisie is oorweldig, onderbeman en het nie die nodige hulpbronne om die vlaag geweld te stop nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns jongmense het meer toegang tot onwettige vuurwapens en ons kom ook agter dat dit vuurwapens is wat van buite af kom, en dit is \u2019n groot kommer. Ons is dankbaar dat Shannon buite gevaar is \u2013 hy is een van die min gese\u00ebnde jong manne wat dit gemaak het.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nog \u2019n inwoner, wat anoniem wil bly, s\u00ea baie vergaderings is al oor gemeenskapsveiligheid gehou en die gemeenskap praat, maar niks word daaraan gedoen nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit is hartseer en skrikwekkend. Op die ou einde weet \u2019n mens nie meer waar jy veilig is nie \u2013 of dit nou binne jou huis of buite jou huis is, die kwaaddoeners wag vir niks nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kapt. Tania Helfrich, \u2019n woordvoerder vir die Weskus-polisiedistrik, het bevestig dat \u2019n klag van poging tot moord ondersoek word.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
