"During the shoot-out, two suspects were arrested at the scene. One of the suspects was injured and was found in possession of an unlicensed firearm and ammunition.""A 22-year-old suspect is in police custody, while the other is in hospital under police guard," said Naicker. "Further charges for attempted murder, as well as illegal possession of firearms and ammunition, were opened for investigation."
He said the pair would be profiled to determine if they were linked to other cases committed in Winterton and surrounding areas.
