BLOODSHED continued in Cape Town's gang-plagued communities after four people, including an elderly woman, were gunned down in a house in Bishop Lavis on Friday night.

The mass killing comes amid a deadly spate of shootings across the Cape Flats over the past two weeks, with at least five mass shootings reported in Mitchells Plain, Kraaifontein, Mfuleni, and Lower Crossroads.

Police spokesperson Lieutenant-General Malcolm Pojie confirmed that detectives from the Provincial Serious and Violent Crime Investigations and the Anti-Gang Unit have been tasked with investigating the Lavis killings.

"The incident claimed the lives of four adults - two women and two men - aged between 27 and 80 years old," Pojie said.
