A road rage incident in Emmarentia, Johannesburg, escalated into a deadly shooting, leaving one man dead and two others injured.

It is alleged that yesterday’s incident began as a minor bumper-bashing and then escalated into deadly violence.

According to Northcliff Melville Times, local police spokesperson Colonel Dimakatso Nevhuhulwi says it is alleged a female passenger, believed to be the wife of one of the drivers, retrieved a firearm from the vehicle. The second driver also produced a firearm, resulting in the shooting.

“The husband was killed in the incident, while the other driver sustained minor injuries. The female passenger was taken to hospital after suffering a gunshot wound.”

Police have opened cases of murder and attempted murder.

“The public, especially drivers, are urged to always abide by traffic rules and exercise patience while using public roads to avoid road rage situations,” Nevhuhulwi says.

Aftermath captured on video

An unsettling video shows the aftermath of the fatal shooting involving the victims.

In the footage, a young boy and his sister are seen being guided into a vehicle for safety after the boy attempted to administer CPR to their critically injured father while both siblings were in distress.

The mother is also shown in the video, sitting injured from her gunshot wounds.

The video concludes with a crowd gathering along Barry Hertzog Road, where the incident took place.

Police investigations into the incident are ongoing.
