One dead, two on the run after East Rand shootout
The suspects committed a business burglary before the shootout.
The N3 South has been closed to traffic at the Gillooly’s Interchange, on the East Rand, to allow police to deal with an earlier crime scene, the Bedfordview and Edenvale News reports.
Captain Andre de Jager, spokesperson for the Bedfordview police, said: “A shootout ensued between three suspects and reaction officers from a security company.”
He said the suspects were chased from Benoni where a business burglary had taken place.
“The suspects took an off-ramp and found themselves stuck on the dead-end road off Skeen Boulevard. A shootout ensued,” said De Jager.
He said the suspects tried to flee on foot, and one suspect succumbed to his injuries. The other two suspects are still at large.
