The Witness reports that one person was left in critical condition after a shooting incident on Rick Turner Road in Durban on Thursday.

Garrith Jamison of Advanced Life Support Paramedics (ALS) said the incident happened just before 11.30 am. “Paramedics arrived on the scene to find SAPS and security personnel on the scene with the scene cordoned off,” said Jamieson. He reported that that a security officer was shot in the incident. “Paramedics worked to stabilize the man on the scene before he rushed to a nearby hospital for the urgent care that he required,” he indicated. Jamison added that it was alleged that the suspects robbed the guard of money, but that the police were on the scene and would be investigating further.
