“It is alleged the home owner was offloading goods from his car when two suspects approached him on foot. Without asking any questions, they started firing shots at him and he was hit twice in the stomach,” Du Buisson said.
He said the wounded man fired back at the two intruders who seemed to want to hijack his car. “We couldn’t determine if those suspects were hit and wounded.”
Du Buisson said the attackers fled in a white Renault Megane, which was parked around the corner. He said the wounded man was rushed to Unitas hospital and was stabilised.
“We sent out many patrollers to track these guys but they had fled. No one was arrested,” said Du Buisson.
In another case a woman was almost hijacked at a petrol station in Amberfield on Friday when an unknown man jumped into her car while she was trying to reverse.
