TimesLIVE reports that while paramedics were parked at a Cape Town hospital on Tuesday, they heard multiple gunshots nearby and rushed in the direction of the bangs.

On Racecourse Road in Milnerton, they found a man who had been the victim of a drive-by shooting.   Because of their fast reaction, the man was treated and taken to hospital, though he is still in a serious condition. Russel Meiring from ER Sports said in a statement that the paramedics arrived at the scene at 1.45pm. “They found a light motor vehicle, riddled with bullets, parked in the middle of the road against a truck. A man was found lying inside. Medics assessed the man and found that he had sustained several gunshot wounds, leaving him in a serious condition,” he reported. The man was treated on scene and taken to Mediclinic, where he was stabilised before being taken to another hospital.
