According to the Muldersdrift Police report, the man grabbed his shotgun and headed to his son’s room after hearing a noise there too.
“He fired a warning shot, but his son told him not to shoot because a suspect had a gun to his head,” Muldersdrift Police spokesperson, Constable Slindile Ntuli, said.
The suspect allegedly pointed the gun away from the son and fired a shot and during the commotion, the son managed to run out of the room. His father then fired several shots.
