A shot was fired in a road rage fracas in the east of Pretoria on Monday
Brooklyn police spokesperson Captain Collette Weilbach said no one was wounded when two motorists got into an argument in Lynnwood around 11:35.
“At the Rosemary and Lynnwood road intersection, a red vehicle apparently turned in front of a student and he responded by hooting at the vehicle. The two drivers shouted at each other,” she said.
“The driver of the red vehicle then produced a firearm and fired a shot into the left rear door of the student’s vehicle. The driver allegedly also pointed a firearm at the student, who sped off.”
