Manhunt for suspects involved in fatal Inanda shootout with cops
Police are trying to track down two people who fled the scene of a deadly shooting in Inanda, north of Durban.
KZN SAPS says four officers patrolled Mafukuzela Highway on Monday night when they spotted a car without a rear number plate.
Spokesperson Robert Netshuinda says they instructed the driver to pull over, but he sped off.
"Police gave chase, and before they knew it, the men of law found themselves under gunfire coming from the occupants of the vehicle.
"The tactically ready police officers returned fire, and the driver lost control of the vehicle, and it crashed. The driver and one passenger got out of the vehicle and fled on foot. Upon inspection of the vehicle, three men were found inside the vehicle with gunshot wounds."
He says two of them died.
The third person was taken to hospital.
"A double-barrel shotgun and two pistols were found in possession of the suspects," says Netshuinda.
