A would-be hijacker has been killed and another critically wounded in a shootout in Midrand, north of Joburg.

The two gunmen had tried to hijack a motorist on Old Pretoria Road earlier today when a bystander intervened.

The police's Eugene Opperman says a shootout then ensued.

Opperman says the man who shot the duo was acting in self-defence and opened fire only after being shot at.

Yes, because had he shot first, he would be arrested and treated as a criminal... thats how this country works... the REAL criminal must have a at least one chance to kill you before you get to defend yourself. ^$%%^&% country.
 
It is about time, lucky the Jacker did not manage to land a shot in the first place.
 
Darn, I go for an afternoon nap and crime takes a dip ... going back to bed!

Good on the bystander!
 
To that old Queen/Freddie Mercury song

Good on the civvy, balls dude, well done.

Good Xmas season so far, last year the cash vans were being taken out all over the place. Lets hope the coppers can stay ahead of the game.

Yeah good to see. Still I've seen a few 'after action' pics of Cash in Transit heists and it's a real mess :sick:
