At least six dead after lone gunman opens fire in Kagiso

At least six people have died and five left injured after a shooting took place in Kagiso on the West Rand on Saturday.

Details are scarce at this stage, but so far, police said a lone gunman entered a home and shot the owner, his girlfriend and a neighbour. 

On his way out, he allegedly continued to fire shots randomly. The bullets flew through a nearby crowd celebrating a wedding.

Two people from the wedding were declared dead at the scene, while two others were rushed to hospital.
