Police Launch Manhunt After Deadly Johannesburg Shooting Police in South Africa are searching for suspects after a violent attack in Johannesburg left 12 people dead and nine others injured. The incident took place in an informal settlement in the Cleveland area late Tuesday night. Authorities say a group of armed men arrived in the area and opened fire on residents before escaping in a vehicle. How the Attack Happened Police report that more than 10 armed suspects entered the Jumpers Informal Settlement. They moved through different parts of the community and fired on people at several locations. Officials say the attackers fled the scene in a white Toyota Quantum after carrying out the assault. Emergency services arrived after receiving reports of ongoing gunfire at around 23:10 local time. Police and medical teams found multiple victims at the scene. Casualties and Injuries Eight men and three women died at the location. One more victim died later in hospital due to severe injuries. Nine additional people were taken to nearby hospitals for treatment. Their condition has not been fully updated by authorities. Possible Motive Under Investigation Investigators have not confirmed a clear motive yet. However, police and local residents suspect the attack may be linked to disputes involving illegal mining groups operating in the area. Illegal mining has grown in parts of South Africa and is often connected to criminal networks and territorial conflicts. Police have described the attack as violent and deeply disturbing while continuing efforts to identify those responsible. Community and Police Response Residents of the informal settlement believe the violence may be connected to ongoing turf tensions. Police have not ruled out organized criminal activity. Law enforcement teams are reviewing evidence and following multiple leads to track down the suspects. A senior police official said the area remains under close investigation due to its proximity to illegal mining zones. Illegal Mining and Rising Violence Illegal mining continues to be a major concern in South Africa. It often takes place in abandoned mine areas where groups compete for control of resources. Authorities say such conflicts can escalate into violent confrontations that put local communities at risk.

Alleged Hitman Teen Mocked Police During Huddersfield Arrest Arrest at Briar Court Hotel A 19 year old Norwegian man named Johannes Natland has been accused of travelling to the United Kingdom for a planned killing linked to organised crime. Police arrested him at the Briar Court Hotel in Huddersfield. Officers found two firearms and 12 live rounds of ammunition. Body worn camera footage shown at the Old Bailey captured the moment he opened his hotel room door. A laser sight was pointed at his chest. He then allegedly mimed holding a gun and acted out shooting toward officers. Charges and Court Plea He has admitted possession of two working firearms and ammunition. He denies conspiracy to murder. Prosecutors claim he was sent to the UK to carry out a targeted killing for a criminal group known as Foxtrot Network. They say the group has links to Iran. The case is being heard at the Old Bailey. Messages and Travel Into the UK Court evidence says he joined a Signal group chat shortly after turning 18. He reportedly asked who the target was soon after joining. He later travelled from Stavanger in Norway to Manchester using an emergency passport. At the airport, Border Force officers questioned him. He had only a small amount of cash, no return ticket, and no accommodation booked. He was refused entry but allowed a temporary stay before a planned return flight. Cash Drops and Firearms Instructions After arriving in the UK, he took a taxi to Huddersfield. He was allegedly guided by messages to hidden cash near a walkway underpass. He collected the money and checked into a hotel, paying in cash. Further instructions reportedly led him to woodland outside the town, where he collected two handguns. He was also directed to a stolen car with a hidden key placed under a wheel. Online Sharing and Behaviour Later that day, he bought alcohol and sent videos of the weapons to a friend. He also sent images showing cash spread across a hotel bed. In another image shared earlier, he posed with money laid out in front of him inside the hotel room.

Trump tariff refund program begins but consumers may miss compensation Refund program begins for importers The United States has started issuing refunds after the Supreme Court struck down tariffs introduced under the Trump administration in February. These tariffs were imposed under emergency trade powers and are now being reversed. Businesses that were charged these import duties can now apply online to recover their money, along with interest. The repayment effort is expected to become one of the largest refund operations ever handled. Online system processes billions in claims A dedicated online system has been launched to manage the process. It allows importers to submit claims in bulk instead of filing item by item, which speeds up processing. So far, tens of thousands of importers have already applied. The total value of claims is estimated in the tens of billions of dollars. Officials say approved applicants should receive payments within a few months after verification is complete. Why consumers will not receive payouts While importers are eligible for refunds, ordinary consumers are unlikely to see direct compensation. Many shoppers already paid higher prices when businesses passed on the cost of tariffs. Some companies argue they absorbed part of the costs, while others increased prices only partially. Because of this, it is difficult to calculate exact consumer losses. Government officials have also indicated that refunds are intended for importers, not individuals who indirectly paid higher prices. Legal pressure and consumer lawsuits Some consumers are taking legal action, arguing that companies should return any financial benefit they receive from tariff refunds. Several class action cases have already been filed against major retailers and logistics companies. These lawsuits claim that businesses should pass refund gains back to customers through lower prices or payments. A few large companies have suggested they may reduce prices if they receive significant refunds, but most have not committed to direct compensation. Government stance on redistribution Officials involved in trade policy have suggested that companies receiving refunds could instead use the money to support employees or improve wages. However, there is no formal requirement for businesses to pass refunds on to consumers or workers. This has left the issue largely to corporate discretion.
