Traffic warden injured, 2 killed in Springs shooting

Two men were killed and a traffic warden injured in a Wright Park shooting, with police yet to make any arrests.

Two men were shot dead, and another was injured during a shooting in Wright Park, Springs, yesterday.

According to the Springs Advertiser, local police spokesperson Sergeant Themba Tshabalala says the victims were in the parking area of a local eatery when the incident occurred.

“The footage shows that a white hatchback Polo drove past the Engen garage and dropped off the gunmen. The Polo drove to the road and waited.”

He adds that the two gunmen then walked to where the victims were and shot them at point-blank range.

“One walked around the vehicle and shot again at the victims. They then walked away towards the Polo and drove off.”

Two victims were declared dead on the scene by paramedics.

“The third victim, who was taken to hospital, is a Gauteng traffic warden working in Springs.”

The motive for the shooting is unknown, and no arrests have been made.
