JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (AP) - A government official sparked an uproar Thursday after she said police should shoot to kill when confronting armed criminals in South Africa, a country notorious for its high rates of murder and rape.
Deputy Safety and Security Minister Susan Shabangu said in remarks broadcast on television and radio Wednesday that police should "kill the bastards" if threatened.
"I want no warning shots. You have one shot and it must be a kill shot," she told a public meeting.
