A shooting attack targeted a bar in South Africa's Soweto township, west of Johannesburg, late on Saturday, killing 15 people and critically injuring others. Police reports indicate that a group of men arrived in a minibus taxi and started firing at the bar, prompting those inside to attempt to flee. You can see that every one of those people were struggling to get out of the tavern," Mawela told the AP. They urged members of the public to come forward with any information on "unknown suspects following an apparent random shooting incident." The Saturday shooting comes shortly after the mysterious death of 21 young people at a township bar in the coastal South African town of East London.
