Zululand Observer has received confirmation that eight suspects were shot and killed during a gun battle with police along the John Ross highway in Richards Bay last night.
Arboretum residents thought their suburb was coming under siege late last night when a volley of gunshots rang out amid reports of a shoot-out on the John Ross highway.
“The shooting started at about 23:00 and lasted for about a minute before all went quiet,” said one resident.
It was later reported that the incident took place between the Medway and Arboretum (canal robots) intersections.
“We waited for sirens and reports of what took place, but there was nothing, just an eerie silence.”
