Man Shot in Suspected Robbery

As the thirty four year old man pulled up to the residence in Newlands Pretoria, it seems that the suspects were waiting for him. Bystanders on the scene said that the man had just been to the bank to draw money.

An unknown number of suspects approached the man’s Getz and allegedly shot at him. He then fled the vehicle into the house, and collapsed in the hallway near the kitchen. The SAP were on scene when ER24 paramedics arrived, and the man was treated for blood loss and two wounds to either side of his chest. He was in severe pain, and also in a mild state of confusion as to the events that had just taken place.

After being stabilized on the scene, he was transported by ambulance to a nearby hospital where he will undergo further assessment and treatment, and possible surgery for his wounds.

It is still unclear as to what the motive of the incident was, and whether anything was actually taken from the man or from his vehicle. Both the Brooklyn and Garsfontein police were on the scene to collect evidence for investigation.
