Mystery surrounds church shooting NCEBA DLADLA

I

T is still a mystery why a gunman entered the Arise and Shine Christian Church in New Brighton and shot a 51year-old woman in front of members of the congregation last Thursday.

The woman, whose name is being withheld for security reasons, was going home after the service at the church on the corner of Singaphi and Gunguluza Streets in New Brighton about 9.30pm when she was confronted by a man, who drew a firearm and tried to shoot her. “Apparently the gun jammed. She cried hysterically and ran back into the church. The man followed her inside the church and she fell to the floor,” said Reverend Zola Dowse of the church. “We were stunned and in deep shock as he stood on top of her, mercilessly firing two gun shots at her head,” said Rev. Dowse. “Everybody lay on the floor while I jumped

at the man, trying to grab his gun from behind, but he quickly ran away leaving her lying there for dead,” he said. Rev. Dowse rushed the woman to hospital, where she was said to be brain dead. Dowse said he was lost for words. He did not understand the cruelty of a man who would shoot a helpless woman in the church of God. “We need prayers, but I think my congregants need counselling to be able to overcome the shock and heartlessness they were exposed to,” he said. “We believe this was an attempt on her life. The man did not take anything from her or from church members,” said Rev. Dowse According to a reliable source, the woman had a small sewing business. Her husband had died about a year ago and after receiving his estate she had enlarged and beautified her residence in New Brighton. “She did not have children with her husband. He had children of his own, who did not stay with them,” the source said. “The police are investigating a case of attempted murder and are appealing to members of the public to come forward with information that could help to arrest the suspect,” police spokesperson Constable Mncedi Mbombo said. < The Arise and Shine Christian Church in New Brighton where a woman was shot in the head by a gunman.
