Man paralysed after being shot in a Hermanus pub

Police are searching for three suspected gunmen after a shooting at a bar in the popular seaside town of Hermanus early Friday morning. Police spokesperson Eben Groenewald says the suspects entered the bar shortly after midnight, and started shooting in the direction of the bar counter. A 25-year old man was wounded in his calf and ankle, and another client, who tried overpowering the gunmen, was shot in the neck before they fled. Groeneweld says the second victim has been paralysed from the neck down as a result of the shooting. Nothing was taken from the scene, and the motive for the attack is still unknown.
