Shoot-out near Johannesburg school
Johannesburg- Three people, one of them a police reservist, were killed on Wednesday in a shoot-out opposite Northcliff Primary School.
The incident occurred after a security company, Beagle Watch, was alerted to the five suspects in the Mimosa Road area.
Beagle Watch operations manager Jakes Shakung said that one of their officers chased the gang to a street near Northcliff Primary School.
The suspects ran into different houses opposite the school, with two of them even locking themselves in a toilet, Shakung said.
When police went into the house after the suspects, they began shooting at each other, resulting in a police reservist losing his life.
The SA Police Service then responded with a tactical response unit and a helicopter and one of the suspects was shot dead.
Another suspect shot himself dead and a police officer was also injured in the shooting.
The three other suspects were arrested.
An official at the school said that everything was “under control” and that all the children had been sent home.
