Police spokesperson Inspector November Filander says a red Toyota Carolla with four occupants was busy reversing out of the yard when Metro police members identified themselves.
“The driver of the red Toyota Carolla jumped out of the vehicle and fired several shots at them, and they returned fire, injuring two suspects, aged 27 and 37.
“They also seized an illegal 9mm pistol. A 42 year old bystander was also injured. They were all taken to a nearby hospital, with the suspects placed under police guard. Their condition is unknown at this stage”, said Inspector November Filander.
Filander added that a case of attempted murder and possession of illegal firearm has been opened and the four suspects will appear in the Blue Downs Magistrate’s Court on the 18 of January 2010.
