南非警方周日表示，该国两大城市发生两起大规模枪击事件，至少27人遇难。
第一起事件发生在周六晚间，8名持枪歹徒持突击步枪突袭约翰内斯堡西部的一家酒吧，枪击造成17人死亡、15人受伤。
警方称，歹徒先是向户外饮酒的顾客开火，随后闯入店内继续射击，最终造成13名男性和4名女性死亡。
警方表示，枪击动机仍不明朗，歹徒在逃离前纵火焚烧了两辆车。
周日早些时候，开普敦郊外一个城镇的娱乐场所发生另一起枪击事件，歹徒开枪造成10人死亡、11人受伤。
其中5名受害者在现场被宣布死亡，其余伤者在被送往医院的过程中不治身亡。
警方称，两起案件均未抓获嫌疑人。

此次袭击事件发生之际，南非充斥着合法和非法枪支，长期饱受与帮派纷争和非正式企业竞争相关的枪支暴力困扰。
这个拥有约6200万人口的国家每天约发生60起谋杀案，属于全球最高谋杀率国家之一。
今年3月，南非军队进驻约翰内斯堡的暴力重灾区，协助警方打击猖獗的犯罪活动，西里尔·拉马福萨总统将此类犯罪描述为该国面临的最大威胁之一。
南非曾多次在危机时期调用军队，从2020年实施严格的新冠疫情封锁，到2021年前总统雅各布·祖马入狱引发致命骚乱期间部署军队，均有先例。
2023年，在多起卡车纵火事件引发大范围动荡担忧后，南非也向街头部署了军队。
At least 27 people killed in 2 mass shootings in South Africa’s Johannesburg, Capetown

At least 27 people were killed in two mass shootings in South Africa’s two main cities, police said on Sunday.
The first incident occurred Saturday evening when eight gunmen armed with assault rifles stormed a bar west of Johannesburg and shot 17 people and wounded 15 others.
The suspects opened fire on customers drinking outside and then moved inside to continue shooting, police said, where they killed 13 males and four females.
The motive for the shooting was still unknown, police said, adding that the suspects torched two vehicles before fleeing.
In a separate shooting at an entertainment venue in a township outside Cape Town early on Sunday, gunmen killed 10 people and wounded 11 more.
Five of the victims were declared dead at the scene while the others succumbed to their injuries while being taken to hospital.
No suspect has been arrested in either case, police said.

The attacks come as South Africa, awash with legal and illegal firearms, grapples with persistent gun violence often linked to gang rivalries and competition among informal businesses.
The country of about 62 million people records roughly 60 murders a day, among the highest rates globally.
In March, soldiers moved into violence hotspots in Johannesburg to support police efforts to tackle rampant crime, described by President Cyril Ramaphosa as one of the biggest threats facing the country.
South Africa has repeatedly turned to the army in times of crisis, from enforcing strict Covid-19 lockdowns in 2020 to deploying troops during the deadly riots sparked by the jailing of ex-president Jacob Zuma in 2021.
Soldiers were also sent into the streets in 2023 after a wave of truck burnings raised fears of wider unrest.
