PRETORIA - Police are hunting three suspects in connection with the Saulsville mass shooting.
Attackers opened fire on 25 people in a tavern, killing 12 of them.
One of the suspects was released on parole last September.
"Three persons of interest have been identified, and one has been taken in for questioning as police investigations continue," said National Police Commissioner Fannie Masemola.

Given the background of those involved, police say they’re now looking into whether this may be linked to the taxi industry.
With a 3-year-old and a teenager among the dead, grieving family members are urging authorities to do more to protect children.
