A man is lucky to be alive after suspects shot at him during a house robbery in Selcourt last Friday morning, says Springs Police spokesperson Capt Johannes Ramphora.
The man and his wife were awakened by the sound of barking dogs and a window breaking.
When the couple went to the living room, they saw three suspects, with two already in the house.
