“When shining the torch through the bathroom window, shots were fired and Minnie was hit in the hand and shoulder. The suspects then attempted to break into the house at two seperate place. Minnie’s wife summoned help from the neighbours who reacted and on their arrival the suspects fled” Cameron added.
