Two men were shot, one in the head, during a shooting in Toti, on the KZN south coast, on Friday.

DURBAN: A man was shot in the head, while a second man sustained moderate injuries, following a shooting on the KwaZulu-Natal south coast on Friday.

Paramedics and private security guards rushed to the scene in Umdoni Road, in Amanzimtoti, where they found two vehicles, a Volkswagen Amarok and a Mercedes-Benz, parked outside a residence. Both vehicles were riddled with bullet holes. “On closer inspection, a male about 30 years of age, was found seated in the Mercedes-Benz, having suffered a gunshot wound to the head," said spokesperson for Emer-G-Med Kyle van Reenen.

He said advanced life support intervention was needed to stabilise him, before he was placed onto a mechanical ventilator, to assist him with breathing, and transported by ambulance to a nearby hospital for further care.
