Shots fired at indoor children’s playground in Centurion

A woman died due to her injuries while a man sustained gunshot wounds and was taken to hospital for treatment.

One person was found dead and another transported to hospital as a result of being shot near an indoor children’s playground venue in Centurion last night.

Two people were shot, one succumbing to gunshot injuries at the corner of 2 Louise Road and Rabie Avenue, Monavoni, Centurion.

The details surrounding the cause of the shooting and alleged murder remain sketchy.

Gauteng EMS Centurion station commander Andre Raijmakers says the incident was reported around 20:45.

“We received reports of the shooting incident and on the scene we were met by security companies already there.”

Raijmakers says one patient was attended to for medical treatment.

“We found a middle-aged male and female who were both outside their vehicle. The male victim suffered a gunshot wound to the left femur.”

He explains the man was transported to Kalafong Hospital for further treatment.

“The female victim was shot twice and was unfortunately found deceased.”

Police are yet to comment on the matter.
