A Shooting Incident On Cape Town Station

Yesterday, about lunch time, a man shot himself on Cape Town Railway Station when apprehended after he fired several shots in all directions.help

Miraculously, it appears that nobody else had been hurt. The police are tight-lipped about the incident and there seems to be a clampdown on news. What little news is filtering through is vague and conflicting. The number of people involved is not clear. Some accounts say one man other say two and even more.dunno

It seems that (at least) one armed man, dressed in black traditional Muslim attire, as normally worn by women (only the eyes showing), entered the station and several shots were fired. People were running in all directions to escape his attentions.sigh

The police won’t speculate on the motive and we don’t know anything about the deceased yet. I only wonder why he was dressed up like a Muslim woman and how he managed to miss everybody else. The station is fairly busy about that time of the day.confused

What is happening to this place?doh
cats meow cats meow

Have a great day.wave

Guess I just might as well finish the other slice of the cheesecake. Life's too short to let the cheesecake lying around in the fridge grin

Hello Catfoot wave hug
Hi DC
Please leave some of the cheesecake for me. I'm tired of cupcakes.

But I think this incident is just to proof that there are more nutcases outside than inside. And some eye-witnesses claim that there were several gunmen.
dunno hug wave
Easy really. Thats the best disguise for any person and secondly this poor guy missed not only his targets but the Workshop that ISIS leader Abu Bakr sent him as well.doh laugh
Hi Ken
But then why did he shoot himself when he was apprehended. Apparently the gun jammed a few times before he could dispose of himself.confused
cheers wave
Cat, typical! When someone gets shot there is always either a crazy or a fanatic person involved. doh sad flower
So do you have details yet? Give, babe, give.
Ugh humanity never fails to boggle my mind frustrated Why can't we all just live in peace and stop such ignorant actions confused
