South African manhunt after ID-related shooting

Following a horrific shooting in which six people killed, a manhunt has been started in South Africa, according to authorities.

According to preliminary information, four suspects are suspected of shooting the victims in Umlazi, KwaZulu-Natal, just before midnight on Friday.

One of the suspects thought one of the victims had his identification since it had been dropped accidently during a previous murder for which he was wanted.

One of the highest murder rates in the world is found in South Africa.

According to a police statement, it is believed that the suspects shot four people: two inside the home, one in a back room, and one close to an outdoor toilet.

The suspects allegedly then shot three victims in a neighbouring cabin.

Later, a casualty was taken by ambulance to the hospital.

Police have identified three of the suspects, and they are asking anyone with information to come forward.
