South African police announced on Sunday that at least 27 people were killed and 26 others wounded in two separate shootings that targeted a bar west of Johannesburg and an entertainment venue near Cape Town.

According to the initial figures announced by police, deaths and injuries were distributed across the two venues, in one of the most violent shooting incidents the country has witnessed in some time.

Police have not yet specified the breakdown of victims at each location separately, nor announced any arrests of suspects as of the ongoing investigation.
