(MENAFN) A mass shooting at the Jumpers Informal Settlement in Cleveland, Johannesburg, left 12 people dead and nine others injured late Tuesday night, according to reports citing police sources.

Authorities said officers responded to gunfire around 11:10 p.m. (2110 GMT) and discovered multiple victims with gunshot wounds at the scene. Eight men and three women were confirmed dead on site, while another man later died after being taken to hospital.
