 Port Elizabeth police have arrested a 26-year old man following a gang-related shooting in the Bloemendal area.

Police spokesperson, Warrant Officer Alwin Labans, says the suspect allegedly fired 4 shots at two schoolboys, aged 17 and 18, from Bertrum High School, but no one was injured.

He says the incident occurred about 2 kilometers from ongoing protest action in Jacksonville and Timothy Valley adding that the shooting had nothing to do with the protest.
