Four shot dead in car in Midrand

Four people were shot dead and a fifth wounded in a car in Midrand. Gauteng police said.

All the victims were passengers in a Toyota Tazz the shooter was driving, at the intersection of Jupiter and Whisken Roads in Crowthorne in the early hours of Monday, Lt-Col Lungelo Dlamini said.

"The suspect apparently had an argument with one of the passengers and fatally shot him. He also fired shots at three other passengers, a man and two women."

The victims were aged between 16 and 30. Another passenger, a 30-year-old woman, was wounded. Police believed they were returning from a party in Olievenhoutbosch.
