One person has been killed and at least six others wounded in a shooting during an apparent cash-in-transit heist in New Germany in Pinetown.
While the details surrounding the incident are not known at this stage, medics say police cordoned off a portion of Otto Volek Road near Shepstone Road on Wednesday evening.
Garrith Jamieson, who is with ALS Paramedics, says two cash guards were found to have suffered gunshot wounds.
"Two of them sustained injuries from assault and gunshot wounds. An unknown person who had sustained gunshot wounds to his upper body, sustained fatal injuries, and was declared dead at the scene."
