Western Cape police spokesperson Captain FC Van Wyk indicated in a statement that the 40-year-old constable was based with the Mowbray SA Police Service (SAPS). Last month, two officers were killed in an ambush and robbed of their firearms in the city when they came under attack while patrolling along Phumla Street in Bloekombos. They were both declared dead on the scene. A 32-year-old man arrested in connection with the murders has appeared in the Blue Downs Magistrate's Court. Van Wyk said Friday's shooting occurred in Ravel Street in Delft South. Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (Hawks) detectives are undertaking the investigation.
