The Woodstock police were called out to a shooting which took place in Penzance Road.

Police are still trying to establish the motive for the shooting which left a female wounded and a 24-year-old male dead.

Woodstock police spokesperson, Hilton Malila, said on arrival they saw blood stains in the living room and according to an eyewitness, two armed men entered the flat and an argument erupted.

“Two people, a male and a female, were shot. The two people that were shot were taken to Groote Schuur Hospital.”

The male died an hour later due to a gunshot wound he sustained to his body.

Malila said police are currently investigating a murder case as well as an attempted murder case and urged anyone with information to contact the Woodstock Police station on 021 442 3129
