Western Cape police have reinforced deployments in the Bishop Lavis area after four men and two women were fatally shot on Thursday night.
Two other people were wounded during the shooting, said police spokesperson Brig Novela Potelwa.
“Police reports from the scene indicate that at about 8.40pm an armed suspect entered an informal dwelling in Kogelberg Street and fired several shots at the occupants. Six people between the ages of 24 and 55 were fatally wounded and two others were wounded. The injured pair was transported to a medical facility.
“Murder and attempted murder dockets were opened for investigation with anti-gang unit detectives investigating the cases.”
The Bishop Lavis shootings come after five people were shot and killed in Atlantis on Wednesday night.
Both shooting incidents are believed to be gang-related.
