The captain of South Africa's national soccer team was fatally shot at a friend's house during an attempted robbery on Sunday night, police said. Goalkeeper Senzo Meyiwa was killed around 8 p.m. after two gunmen entered a house in Vosloorus township near Johannesburg while an accomplice waited outside. The 27-year-old Meyiwa was shot in the upper body, police spokesman Brig. Neville Malila said Monday. Malila didn't comment on local media reports that he was shot in the back trying to protect his girlfriend.
