Officers say it is still not clear what led to the shooting at about 6am this morning. 


The three lifeless bodies are still lying on the ground of a cordoned off section of the taxi rank where the shooting took place a few hours ago. 


A group of clearly shocked taxi drivers and commuters have gathered in the area.
