[schumi]

A business burglary at a local spaza shop quickly took a turn for the worst after one suspect was shot and killed on the scene.

Police received a complaint on 9 July at about 1.30am of a business burglary in progress and responded swiftly.

“A suspect aged between 25 and 30 was shot and killed by Kagiso police after eight people allegedly broke into a spaza shop belonging to a foreign national during the night,” Kagiso Police spokesperson, Warrant Officer Solomon Sibiya explained.

Upon arrival at the scene, seven suspects were seen fleeing from the shop.

Police then noticed a suspect on the roof of the shop, pointing a firearm at them.

“They took cover and then fired a shot at him. The suspect sustained a gunshot wound to his head and fell to the ground.” When paramedics arrived on the scene, the suspect was certified dead.

"A turn for the worse"? I beg to differ.

If that's the case, pity it didn't take 8 turns for the worse.

The other toy gun incident also happened in Kagiso if I recall well, this must serve as a warning to others. toy gun-toting criminals.

I helped build a police shooting range some years ago. Grandfather was in the force and I volunteered. That was the first time I got to see a cop shoot. I jeered at him and said if he hits this on the first go I'll give him a 6 pack of beer. He kept walking back to around 40 meters. 1 shot right through, can exploded in half.

The sad part is that somebody thought it was a good idea to rob a shop. Toy gun or not - The police can't take chances.

This government should be focused on making life affordable for all SA citizens. The rest will take care of itself given enough time.
