Four men in a hijacked vehicle were traced to the Park Meadows Shopping Centre in Bezuidenhout Valley.
When members of a vehicle recovery unit responded to the scene, the suspects opened fire.
One of the suspects attempted to flee the scene on foot but was caught.
The remainder of the suspects fled in the hijacked vehicle.
They were then involved in a collision outside the shopping centre but continued to drive.
On Linksfield Road, the men encountered more officers from the SAPS.
In an attempt to escape, the men were again involved in a collision; this time the suspects opted to leave their vehicle behind and hijack another car.
While fleeing, the men fired more shots at police officials.
The vehicle was later recovered in Alexandra.
