At least 11 people have died in a mass shooting at a hostel in Saulsville township, west of Pretoria, South Africa. Fourteen others were injured when unknown gunmen opened fire early on Saturday. Among the dead are a three-year-old child, a 12-year-old boy, and a 16-year-old girl. "At least three unknown gunmen entered this hostel where a group of people were drinking and they started randomly shooting," said police spokesperson Brigadier Athlenda Mathe. The attackers struck at around 04:30 local time. The hostel is described as an "illegal shebeen". Police say illegal liquor venues are a major problem and many mass shootings occur there. Brigadier Mathe stated, "We are having a serious challenge when it comes to these illegal and unlicensed liquor premises. Innocent people also get caught up in the crossfire." The motive remains unknown and no arrests have been made. South Africa faces a high murder rate—45 people per 100,000—with about 63 murders daily between April and September, according to police and United Nations data.
