The Citizen reports that a female police officer has died after she was shot in the head in Waldrift, Vereeniging, on Tuesday night.
Two other members escaped the attack unscathed. At about 7.10pm, the sergeant had just been picked up by two colleagues and they were on their way to report for duty at their station, SAPS Sebokeng. When travelling, they noticed something suspicious happening around a vehicle. It appeared to them that a person was being forced into the boot of the vehicle. The driver reversed to investigate and they were fired upon by the men at the suspicious vehicle. The 40-year-old sergeant was sitting in the back seat of the car when a bullet struck her in the back of her head. The driver immediately drove off to the nearest hospital where the wounded officer died. The national commissioner condemned the attack and tasked the Gauteng provincial commissioner to immediately mobilise the 72-hour Activation Plan in an effort to find those responsible.
