Two killed in another shootout between cops, suspects in Inanda
There's been another fatal shooting in Inanda involving police officers and suspected criminals.
The KZN SAPS' Robert Netshiunda says two suspects were killed in the early hours of Friday morning in the northern Durban area.
He says officers had been in the process of tracking down the gunmen behind the killing of three people and attempted murder of seven others at a taxi rank near Newlands West last week.
"A simultaneous operation at Eskebeni and Emaplazini in Inanda saw police having to take cover from the suspects' gunfire. Police returned fire, sparking a shootout. After the shootout at both crime scenes, suspects aged 34 and 39 years old were found to have sustained fatal gunshot wounds."

The latest shootout comes 24 hours after officers and a gang exchanged gunfire at a house in Emachobeni in Inanda.
Six suspects were killed, and three, including a 31-year-old woman, were arrested.
