Ma vat 5 koeëls vir kind

[Necuno]

...at loss of words

Sy het bo-op haar driejarige dogtertjie gaan lê om haar teen die rowerkoeëls te beskerm en is toe self vyf keer geskiet.

Mev. Erika Zeeman (28), vrou van ’n polisiebeampte, het eergisternag waarskynlik haar dogtertjie, Demi, se lewe só gered.

Mev. Zeeman is geskiet nadat haar man, insp. Piet Zeeman (48), vyf verdagtes gejaag het wat ’n motorhawe in Carolina, Mpumalanga, beroof het. Die gesin het toevallig op die rooftog afgekom.

Toe die skietery losbars, het mev. Zeeman na die agtersitplek oorgeleun en bo-op Demi gelê om haar te beskerm. Een van die rowers het na die motor geloop, sy pistool deur die oop motorruit gesteek en mev. Zeeman vyf keer in die rug geskiet.

Insp. Zeeman het gister vertel die gesin het omstreeks 20:30 Sondagaand by die Hercules-motorhawe stilgehou.

“Dit was vreemd toe ’n man aangestap kom en sê daar is nie brandstof nie en ek moet ry. Ek het vir hom gesê ek soek nie brandstof nie, maar sigarette.

“Ek het onraad vermoed toe ek sien die pompjoggie sit so half verstar eenkant.”

Die volgende oomblik het vyf mans uit die motorhawe se winkeltjie gestap, in ’n VW Jetta gespring en weggejaag.

Zeeman het die rowers met sy private motor agternagesit.

Die verkeerspolisie het ook die rowers begin jaag wat in die rigting van Badplaas gejaag het.

Sowat 5 km buite Carolina het die voertuig stilgehou.

“Ek en die verkeersmanne het agter hulle stilgehou,” het insp. Zeeman gesê. “Die rowers het uitgespring, die verkeersmanne oorrompel en toe met handwapens en ’n AK47 op my losgebrand.”

Hy het sy R5-aanvalgeweer uitgepluk en teruggeskiet. Een rower het agter die stuurwiel van die verkeersvoertuig ingespring.

Insp. Zeeman het hom raak geskiet. Dié man is hospitaal toe geneem, maar het daar beswyk.

Intussen het ’n ander rower mev. Zeeman deur die oop motorruit geskiet. Insp. Zeeman is deur ’n stuk skrapnel in die regter-groottoon getref. Hy het op die oorblywende vier rowers teruggeskiet wat laat spaander het.

Die polisie het een se lyk gisteroggend sowat 70 m daarvandaan in die veld gekry. ’n Pistool, ’n sak geld en selfoonkaarte is langs die lyk gekry.

Die ander drie is nog soek. Die polisie vermoed een van hulle kan ernstig gewond wees omdat daar volgens kapt. Manie van Zyl van die eenheid teen georganiseerde misdaad baie bloed in die Jetta was.

“Die gode was goed vir ons. Demi het ongedeerd van die skietery afgekom. En Erika leef,” het ’n steeds geskokte insp. Zeeman gister aan Beeld gesê.

Mev. Zeeman is in ’n stabiele toestand, maar het glo die gevoel in haar regterbeen verloor.

At least she is ok for now. A bit irresponsible of him to chase after them with his family in the car TBH.

 

[Vrotappel]

I guess the fugger was hungry (poverty and all of that), that's why he had to shoot her 5 times in the back.

 

[supersunbird]

At least 2 criminals are not gonna be robbing places and shooting at people no more

Was thinking the same thing while reading the article.

I have to ask ... wth was he doing with an assault-rifle in his car?

 

[Arthur]

What an outrage. And what a fantastic mother.
The barbarians are inside the gates.

 

[blunomore]

So he endangers the lives of 2 other people in order to chase after robbers?

Not a good decision, IMO. I understand he is a cop, but he had civilians with him ...

 

[slowcheetah]

Maybe he wanted to show his family what daddy does for a living.

Luckily they are all alright.

 

[shadowfox]

Well ... I wouldn't say alright so much as alive.

5 bullets in the back ... she's friggin' lucky to be alive.

If you can do something without further endangering other people or more risk than normal to yourself i would think that you should.

Guess in the end there is nothing that your mother would not do for you...

Eish..yeah looking back at my post it looks a little wrong.

Hope she recovers though.

It might have been a service rifle, there is no mention that this is a privately owned weapon. How can we expect the police to fight criminals with assault rifles if they only have measly 9mms.
Personally I think all cops should be armed to the teeth. That would make these criminals think twice or bleed.

 

[shadowfox]

Pistols I can accept if they are off-duty.

But I can't see the cop-shops letting their people walk out with assault-rifles. That's a whole different ballgame. If he had been on duty ... then yeah.

 

[supersunbird]

The traffic cops seemed to be easy pickings for the crims...

Yeah, this should be in SAGOODNEWS.CO.ZA, where they stress the fact that the perpetrators were caught in the end, and that's the good news.
