One killed, 2 hurt in Ballito and N2 shootings
One man has been shot and killed while 2 have been rushed to hospital following a shooting incident at a business premises in Ballito, this morning.
It is believed the man killed and one of the two injured men were security guards who had responded to the incident. According to IPSS emergency services the robbers then fled in their vehicle.
The service's Paul Herbst says moments later they were then alerted to another shooting incident at the N2 Tongaat Toll Plaza, where the description of suspects' car matched that of the one used in the the Ballito robbery and shooting.
"As per witnesses on scene four men jumped out the vehicle and ran away on foot. The driver of the Mercedes Benz was critically wounded and treated by Advanced Life Support paramedics before being taken to hospital under police guard," he said.
"Unfortunately some lanes on the N2, north and southbound, are still closed due to the ongoing investigations by police," Herbst said.
