‘’Reports from the scene indicate the victims of the shooting incident were returning home in three vehicles from the Silverstroom beach when yet-to-be identified gunmen opened fire on the vehicles on the corner of Old Mamre and Silverstream Roads. As a consequence five individuals between the ages of 18 and 30 were fatally wounded and five others rushed to a medical facility after sustaining gunshot wounds,’’ said Brigadier Novela Potelwa, Western Cape police spokesperson.

Atlantis police are since probing cases of murder and attempted murder.

‘’As the investigation unfold, it is expected that the motive for the shooting incident will be determined. No arrests have been effected yet,’’ said Potelwa.
