“The scene indicates that the children were on their way to school when the shooting occurred. It is alleged that two gunmen in a vehicle disembarked in Donnegal Street and fired shots .As a consequence the 14 year old was killed and others aged 15 and 17 were injured. They were transported to a medical facility for treatment,” said, Brigadier Novela Potelwa.

A case for murder and attempted murder has been opened. Police have since launched a manhunt for the perpetrators responsible.
