"It is alleged that the 34-year old constable, who was on duty at the time of the incident, opened fire at three members of the public, fatally wounding a male in his thirties.

"The second male, also in his thirties, was wounded and admitted to hospital, while the third male escaped unharmed.

RIP to the victim.

How old was the constable? How long has he been with SAPS?

This is the bit that I do not understand...

A police constable opened fire in a police station on Friday morning, fatally wounding one person, after which he went home and shot himself.

Was he alone at the station? Why wasn't he detained?

Eye for an eye?

 

[Big Rat]

many blanks to fill first. Where the three in there to report a crime or for help? or did they also come for weapons and the cop had to defend himself?

Are you bothered with me? I know it was a joke.

Where the three in there to report a crime or for help?

They were there about a future crime of which they were unaware.

That's all we know - except that the cop went home for his last meal. Rice Crispies, perhaps?
