A drive-by shooting incident in Belhar yesterday left four people wounded and one teenager unharmed.

A Blue Jetta was driving on Symphony Way from Belhar towards Bellville, when a silver-grey Honda Ballade overtook the car, and allegedly opened fire at the Jetta. It is believed that the Ballade then rushed off.

The police's Captain Elliot Sinyangana confirmed that there were four occupants, one woman and three males. “Three people were wounded while one got off lucky,” says Sinyangana.

The woman, aged 43, sustained gun shot wounds to her left leg and chest. A 25-year-old male was shot in his back and chest, while the third male was shot in his left leg and buttocks. A 17-year-old youth caught up in the incident remained unharmed.

The three injured survivors were taken to hospital for medical attention. Sinyangana says the motive for the attack is not yet known.
