News24 reports that two security guards were shot and injured in an attack on their unmarked vehicle in New Brighton, Port Elizabeth, on Wednesday morning.
The guards had stopped to pick up another colleague in their unmarked Isuzu bakkie at around 04:50, when a man walked up to the passenger side and opened fire on the two guards. Eastern Cape police spokesman Captain Andre Beetge indicated: "He did not attempt to rob the guards and fled the scene in an unknown vehicle that sped off afterwards." The driver of the bakkie was left in a critical condition after being shot in the left side of the chest. His passenger was shot in the left leg and is stable. The third guard was still in his house when the shots were fired and he was unharmed. Beetge said it was not yet clear what the motive for the attack was and that police were investigating a case of attempted murder.
