According to reports by Eyewitness News, three people are dead and another is in critical condition in an apparent murder-suicide at an attorney’s office in Centurion, Pretoria.

A fight reportedly broke out during a meeting involving two lawyers and four clients at an attorney’s office.

A man allegedly pulled out a gun and shot at the people numerous times before turning the weapon on himself.

One client and two lawyers were caught in the gunfire.

Two victims died on the scene, while one person has been taken to hospital for treatment.

Police and social workers are reportedly on the scene. - IOL

Scary!
 
Seriously, is the legal firm identified yet? I know a few people that are working at legal firms in Centurion.
 
This is shocking, imagine you're just sitting in a meeting having some heated debate and someone pulls out a gun and starts shooting!

However, if someone takes a gun to a meeting in the first place, chances are, he planned it.
 
This is what happens when you take every thing from some one ,nothing to loose
 
What was the meeting about? Was this a divorce case?

Anyone with more info?

Hmmm.. Don't take a pen to a gun fight.

No choice ? Its a law office , one should feel safe in a lawyers office. There is always choice. No matter how difficult the situation is , you have to think of the consequences of your actions. Even if the lawyers were evil effed up people , what if the receptionist got hit in the cross fire ? She could be someones mom , sister ? daughter.
