11 Football fans killed in South Sudan shooting


At least 11 people are dead and 16 others have been injured after an attack on football fans in South Sudan, local media report.
A gunman opened fire on a crowd watching an English Premier League game near the town of Juba.
South Sudan's National Courier newspaper said the gunman had escaped despite a "prompt response" from security forces.
Police are investigating, but have not yet identified a motive.
The incident took place in Gure, a suburb of Juba, the South Sudan capital.
The city was hit by violence earlier this year as rival political factions clashed, prompting the vice-president, Riek Machar, to flee the country.
