In another incident, a female constable booked out a service firearm as she reported for duty at Theunissen Police Station and then shot herself in the toilets on Saturday.“To the families, friends and colleagues of our fallen members we extend our deepest condolences. Your loss is our loss and we stand with you in this time of grief. As police officers you are called to serve and protect others often at great personal cost.
