Cape Town - Two men were killed and two rushed to hospital following a shooting in gang-ridden Hanover Park, the Western Cape Health department said on Thursday.

Spokesperson Robert Daniels said the two men who survived the shooting were rushed to Groote Schuur Hospital by Western Cape Government Health Emergency Medical Services (EMS) at 10h00.

The men – aged 31 and 42 – were in a critical but stable condition after they both sustained multiple gunshot wounds in Hanover Park.

“The bodies of two more men aged 19 and 27 were removed from the same area by Forensic Pathology Services,” said Daniels.

He added that EMS were not currently entering Hanover Park without a police escort.
