A man was injured in a shooting on Delphinus Road in Waterkloof Ridge in Tshwane yesterday morning, and police are treating the case as attempted murder.

Pretoria Rekord reports that, according to Gerhard Rossouw, operations manager at CSI Security, security teams were sent to an area where shots had been fired.

“Upon arrival, our special operations and reaction units, along with other security partners, found a Volkswagen Polo riddled with bullet holes.

“The driver had sustained a gunshot wound to his leg,” says Rossouw.

He says security officers secured the area to preserve evidence and prevent scene contamination.

“Spent 9mm casings were found at the scene, and the vehicle, which had more than 17 bullet holes, was handed over to police for further investigation,” he adds.

Rossouw says the swift response by multiple security teams and Brooklyn police ensured the area was made safe and that evidence was properly collected for forensic analysis.

He adds that police arrived shortly after and took over the scene.

“The victim was transported for medical treatment, and statements from witnesses were taken.”

Brooklyn police confirmed the incident and said the investigation is ongoing.
