[WATCH] Video footage of this morning’s murder/ suicide emerges

A few security guards were stationed outside a complex and witnessed the shooting.

Krugersdorpers were shocked to witness a murder/ suicide outside a complex in Chancliff this morning, and now video footage of the incident has been released.

The footage shows two people arguing on the side of the road opposite the entrance of the complex. It also shows a vehicle parked across the street from them. They stand fairly close to each other, but then one runs as the other takes out a firearm. The man then fires one shot at the woman.

The shot misses its target, and the woman is able to get away. She then runs around the tree and he fires another shot. The second shot hits her, but she continues to try to escape. Then he shoots two more rounds before she drops to the ground, lifeless.

RDS Security has asked community members to remain vigilant in and around the area.
