It is alleged that on Tuesday, 9 February 2016 at about 09:30, occupants travelling in a Nissan open bakkie were shot at on the M4 Port Elizabeth bound. The two occupants aged 19 and 25 years old seated at the back of the bakkie were injured. The female was shot in her left leg and the male in his left arm and left foot. The complainant’s vehicle was travelling in the middle lane when the suspects approached on the fast lane and opened fire. The injured were taken to hospital for treatment. Police are investigating 2 counts of attempted murder.
In another incident, at about 10:00, a 33 year old man was fatally wounded while another person was injured in a shooting incident on the Kleinskool main road.
