“No matter what the reason or the cause might be this is a behaviour is of a criminal, of which police have a duty to arrest a person who behaves like this in a community, to remove a person who behaves like this in the community who shoots and kills children, innocent souls.”<\/p>\n

Police said that a team has now been deployed to search for the suspects and to also investigate the motive behind the incident.<\/p>\n
