"The primary investigation suggests that these people were enjoying themselves here, in a licensed tavern operating within the right hours," police commissioner Elias Mawela told the Associated Press of the first shooting.
"All of a sudden they heard some gunshots, that is when people tried to run out of the tavern. We don’t have the full details at the moment of what is the motive, and why they were targeting these people," he added. "You can see that a high caliber firearm was used and it was shooting randomly. You can see that every one of those people were struggling to get out of the tavern."
