A City of Cape Town municipal office in Strand was closed after a woman was shot dead in the parking lot on Monday morning.
The 41-year-old woman was shot shortly after she parked her vehicle outside the building in Main Road, police spokesperson Captain FC van Wyk said.
"According to reports, the deceased stopped with her silver Toyota Fortuner in the parking lot…she was alone in the vehicle. An unknown male approached her on foot, took out two firearms and [fired] several shots through the driver's side window," Van Wyk said.
