File: In another incident, a taxi driver was arrested for allegedly shooting and killing a man and his son on the N1 between Louis Trichardt and Polokwane two weeks ago.
A suspected road rage shooting in Emmarentia, Johannesburg, has left one man dead and two others wounded on Sunday afternoon. This follows an altercation between two male drivers that escalated into gunfire involving a female passenger.
Police say the confrontation turned deadly when both drivers allegedly drew firearms, reportedly after a woman retrieved a gun from one of the vehicles.
Gauteng police spokesperson, Dimakatso Nevhuhulwi, says they will be investigating cases of murder and attempted murder.
“It is alleged that a female passenger, suspected to be the wife of one of the drivers, went to get a firearm from the car, and the second driver also pulled out his firearm, resulting in a shooting which claimed the life of the husband, leaving the other driver and the female passenger injured. The police will be investigating a case of murder and attempted murder. The public, especially drivers, is urged to always abide by traffic rules and exercise patience while using public roads to avoid road rage situations,” says Nevhuhulwi.
