Durban Metro Police Service Trio Crime Unit was involved in a confrontation with a suspect linked to the killing of one of our late senior member.
When approached by our Crime Prevention Team, the suspect drew a firearm and shot at our officer.
Fortunately, the officer’s bulletproof vest prevented any serious injury.
The team acted swiftly, and a 11-year-old child was also injured during the shootout.
The suspect was fatally shot during the exchange.
One firearm recovered on the scene.
We commend our officers for their bravery and quick action in ensuring justice and safety for our EThekwini Municipality….
