ANA reports that a police delegation met on Tuesday with the family of the metro police officer who was killed in a mass shooting in Durban on Monday.
The off-duty constable’s role in the shooting, which took place at a block of flats near the city’s high court, has yet to be ascertained, Durban Metro Police spokesperson, senior superintendent Parboo Sewpersad, said. Sewpersad confirmed that the officer lived in the flat where the shooting took place. Three people were killed – the officer, another man and one woman - and five were injured in the incident, which took place just before midday. According to paramedics, one of the injured was in a “critical condition”. When they arrived at the scene earlier, paramedics described the flat where the killings took place as “a blood bath”. Witnesses said there appeared to be some sort of gathering there before multiple shots were heard. A firearm was recovered at the scene.
