Two men critical after Joburg shooting


Two men were left in a critical condition following a shooting incident with local authorities in Johannesburg on Tuesday.

ER24 spokesperson, Russel Meiring, said paramedics found one man lying in the road with a gunshot wound to his head, while a second man was found on a nearby embankment with a gunshot wound to his chest.

He said both patients were provided with advanced life support interventions and transported to nearby hospitals for further treatment.

Meiring said the events surrounding this incident were unknown but local authorities were on the scene for further investigations.

It's understood that the two were hijacking suspects being pursued by police.
