Seventeen people were killed in two mass shootings in Lusikisiki, a rural town in South Africa's Eastern Cape Province. The shootings occurred on Friday night in two homes and resulted in the deaths of 15 women and 2 men. One survivor is in critical condition. The incidents happened hours apart, and the victims were reportedly relatives and neighbors gathered for a mourning ceremony for a mother and daughter who were murdered a year ago. Eastern Cape police have launched a manhunt to apprehend the perpetrators.
