Cape Town - A woman was wounded in a shoot-out between security guards and robbers at Cape Town's Tyger Valley shopping centre on Friday, police said.

"The two guards were dropping off cash inside the centre when they were confronted by four armed men," said Superintendent Billy Jones.

A woman was shot in the left leg during the gunfight. The men fled the scene empty-handed in a white Isuzu bakkie with a canopy.

Spokesperson for paramedics ER24 Philip Turner said the woman was taken to a local hospital and was in a stable condition.

"The young woman was standing outside the Standard Bank entrance having a smoke when she was shot in the leg around 11:30," he said.

I saw the police chopper and emergency vehicles earlier this morning. Expect more incidents like this as Christmas approaches.

Amend the law so people committing crime can be shot on sight, and watch the crime rate drop.

Oh, you can shoot back... it's just that they won't let you have a gun anymore. Now, get *that* fixed...

 

[Syndyre]

I don't mean shoot back, I mean if you see someone committing a crime why should you have to wait till they shoot before you're legally allowed to shoot back. And obviously you'd have to have a reasonable process for giving people access to firearms.

and people think they are safe inside a mall :> lol

This is SA, don't think anyone is safe anywhere here anymore...

*now u know why SA has the highest crime rate in the world*

(a while back a guy was shot in the parking area of tygervalley too, i think a year or so ago)

She was shot outside the mall. While having a smoke. RTFA.

Indeed.

If I'm in the parking of a Strip Mall like Atterbury Value Mart, I'm still in the malls area, thus inside it...

That is a value mart. not a mall.

And if you're standing in the parking area of Tygervalley, having a smoke just outside an entrance, then I'd say you're in the mall. There's supposed to be crowds of people and many security guards, meaning that people are justified in feeling safer than usually.

you wanted to know what this country has come to?

Wow. Irrelevance of note. The person shot was still within the area managed by the mall.

That said, there seem to be a lot of mall attacks making it into the news lately. It's like the criminals want to be hollywood (or etv news) superstars. Constantly raising their profile. Or perhaps they've realised the sad truth that the media's cries fall on the SAP's paperwork-plugged ears.

 

[jontyB]

Semantics aside. This is not a good thing and I don't wish to appear insensitive. It is time for the government to condemn this kind of activity and thwart out all violent crime from our society. We as a people must force government to act.

Relax buddy. If you actually go check my past posts you'd probably notice I am more against crime that most on this forum.
