Two men were killed on Sunday night and three others were wounded when a shooting took place on William Road in Ruimsig, Roodepoort.

When ER24 Emergency Services and other responders arrived the local authorities were already in attendance.

Medics were led to several patients, found lying in nearby informal houses and in the nearby veld.

Medics assessed the patients and found that two men had already succumbed to their fatal gunshot wounds.

Very little could be done for them, and they were declared dead.

Three other patients, a woman, and two men were assessed and found to be in a critical condition.

They were treated and provided with advanced life support before they were taken to nearby hospitals.

Honeydew police station confirmed the incident and told the Northsider that the matter is under investigation.
