Johannesburg: At least 11 people were killed on Saturday including a three year old boy, after gunshots were fired at an illegal bar in the South African city of Pretoria, police said, adding that a manhunt was launched for three suspects who were not identified.

Another 14 people were wounded during the incident in the Saulsville township, they said in a statement.

Police didn't say whether the shooting occurred inside or outside the illegal bar, known locally as a 'shebeen.'

"Three minors are among those deceased, which include a 3-year-old boy, a 12-year-old boy and a 16-year-old girl," the South African Police Service said.
