Two people were left injured yesterday afternoon after an apparent mall robbery in Kempton Park.
ER24 paramedics arrived on the scene and found a security guard lying in the parking lot of the mall. The man was assessed and found to be in a critical condition, having sustained a gunshot wound to his chest.
A second patient, a woman, was found in a jewellery store in the mall. The woman was assessed and found to have sustained a gunshot wound to her leg.
Paramedics treated both patients and provided the security guard with advanced life support interventions. Once treated, both patients were transported to Arwyp Hospital for further treatment.
It is understood that an unknown number of gunmen had entered the store. The woman had attempted to apparently defend herself before she sustained her wound.
Local authorities are on the scene for further investigations.
