PE cops investigating after girl, 12, killed in gang-related incident
PORT ELIZABETH - SAPS in the Eastern Cape has called on communities to work with them rather than take the law into their own hands after the fatal shooting of a 12-year-old girl in Bloemendal in Bethelsdorp, Port Elizabeth on Saturday night.
"The enraged community immediately mobilised and marched to a suspected gang member’s house in Bardien Street. The person they were looking for was not at home and they started to assault two other males who were there. The crowd then marched to another house in Bardien Street, also a suspected gang member’s house. A petrol bomb and stones were thrown at the house. Windows of the house and a car parked in the yard was damaged. The fire was immediately extinguished.
