Shots fired between members of two security companies at Meyerton taxi rank
Gauteng police are investigating a case of attempted murder after a shooting incident at a Meyerton taxi rank on Tuesday.
Police spokesperson Col Dimakatso Nevhulwi said according to reports, members of two security companies shot at each other. One of them sustained a gunshot wound and was taken to hospital.
"While police were combing the scene at the rank, they recovered 10 AK-47 rifles and nine 9mm pistols. The motive for the shooting and ownership of the firearms is subject to investigations," she said.
Earlier reports that one pupil was shot are not true, she added.
"Police went to the school and verified no pupil was injured during the shooting."
