Police are on the hunt for four men following a shootout in Lonehill, Johannesburg, on Sunday.

In CCTV footage of the incident that has been circulated widely on social media, two men can be seen in a driveway of a home in the northern suburb.

A white Mercedes Benz pulls up, and a man gets out of the passenger’s seat.

Shortly after, he pulls out a gun and takes aim at one of the men standing in the driveway.

Unbeknown to the assailant, his target was also armed.

A shootout ensued, eventually forcing the suspect to flee.

Brigadier Mathapelo Peters told News24 the motive behind the shooting was still unknown, however the victim believes it was an attempted robbery.

South Africa has turned into a real bad place when it comes to crime. This country finds itself in a war zone. We do not want a good police force to investigate the crimes and make arrests. We want a police force that can prevent these crimes from happening without us having to lose family or friends.

Since the South African government failed the people, the time has come again for us to teach our children discipline and train them effectively in firearm handling, explosives and warfare. As can be seen from this video, equipping your children with these skills may just save their lives and ours too.

Two dudes standing in the driveway talking, car pulls up and the guy pulls a gun. Dude in shorts and a T shirt happens to be armed on a casual Sunday afternoon. Whats the back story here ?
Seems like they were planning a hit, and he's been expecting it.

Or he is just a sensible South African, who decided to obtain a firearm?

In South Africa, a gun is quickly becoming a necessity. Orcs are roaming freely. It is only a matter of time until it is your turn to be a victim.

Not going to help if it's locked in a gun safe.

Absolutely. What a c**t you have to be to be shot dead and it is later found you spent so much money, effort and time on gun licenses, purchasing, maintaining a firearm, training and more, and then you left it in a safe prior to your death. Today you sleep with your gun, you bath with your gun, you go to church with your gun, everywhere you go, your gun should be on your body. We are in a state of war in South Africa. These are not separate incidents of crime.

I received a WhatsApp with the video with the following message 'Guy in the blue shirt is the dad. Guy in white is his son. He dove back with a bike and he saw the merc following. He entered the boomed area and this slowed the merc down. He parked his bike next to his bakkie. His son came out to fetch the dog. The dad then watched the merc drive past his house slowly. He then thought they going to a neighbor. They then drove and made a u turn at the cul de sac at which point he said things did not seem right. The merc stopped infront of his house and first guy got out with a pistol. he then knew its a robbery.

Dont know the source.

This looks like what was posted on FB that seemed to be from the son.
