At least 28 people were killed in two mass shootings in South Africa, according to The Globe and Mail. Police are now searching for suspects in the attacks, CNN reports.
The Globe and Mail did not specify where in the country the shootings took place or give a breakdown of the death toll from each incident.
CBC reports that investigators are examining a mining feud and a business rivalry as possible motives. The Globe and Mail has not confirmed those lines of inquiry.
The two attacks are part of a wider surge in mass shootings. NPR reports that 38 people were killed across a series of such incidents in South Africa within a single week, a figure that includes the 28 deaths from the two shootings.
South African authorities have not announced any arrests in connection with the attacks, according to the reporting. No names of victims or suspects have been released.
The killings have renewed attention on gun violence in the country, though the reports cited here do not include official statements from government or police leadership on the shootings.
What to watch next: whether police make arrests and whether investigators confirm a motive in either attack.
