CAPE TOWN – A police officer who allegedly shot a driver in a suspected
road rage incident will appear in court on Tuesday.
It is believed the motorist reversed into the off-duty sergeant’s bakkie
at the weekend.
There was a confrontation and the officer then apparently pulled out a
gun and shot the man in the chest before fleeing the scene.
The police’s Bernadine Steyn said an investigation was underway.
“As far as the investigation is concerned, the firearm that was used was
stolen the very same evening.”
Steyn also said the department was investigating the incident.
Meanwhile, the Western Cape Health Department’s Nadia Ferreira said the
driver who was shot could be in hospital for at least another week.
“The patient was admitted to the George Hospital with gunshot wounds to
the head and arms.”
The patient is in a stable condition and is recovering.
