One resident says it happened near her home.
"I was phoned by a neighbour who witnessed the whole shooting and she said the woman needed assistance. I ran to my house with a first-aid bag, jumped into my phone and off I went, but by the time I got there, it was too late for the lady.
"Officers need to be on the road, we need assistance from the courts as well because people get arrested, they need to go to jail for crimes."
