 Two court orderlies have been shot and injured in the Pretoria Regional Court.

According to reports an accused in a robbery case apparently shot a court orderly in his side when he went down to the cells to take him up to the courtroom.

When a second court orderly ran downstairs to investigate, a second accused opened fire, seriously wounding him.

Both suspects escaped from the building and are still at large.

Police said they were appearing in court on charges of house robbery and the possession of unlicensed firearms.
