JOHANNESBURG - An off-duty Gauteng police officer has been shot and
wounded during an armed robbery, allegedly orchestrated by himself and five
accomplices.
The officer is allegedly part of a gang which robbed a house in Rosettenville
this morning.
It’s understood they were spotted by Johannesburg Metropolitan Police
Department (JMPD) officials in the area.
Authorities then recognised the officer.
A JMPD officer shot and wounded the constable when he pointed his
firearm at them.
He’s now under police guard at the Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital in
Soweto.
Police spokesperson Lungelo Dlamini said, "He pointed a firearm and
he was shot in the upper body and [was subsequently] arrested."
