The Primrose police have opened several different cases after an attempted house robbery and shooting in Coral Street, in Woodmere, which left one man dead and two more wounded, last Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is reported that four men, aged between 20 and 40 years old, used an Audi A4 to ram open the property\u2019s gate,\u201d explained Sgt Styles Maome, the communications officer for the Primrose police.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

It is alleged that three of the four men entered the house while one remained in the vehicle.<\/p>\n

\u201cSeeing that two of the men were armed, the home\u2019s owner, who was inside, took out his own firearm and fired at the intruders.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

\u201cAll three suspects were wounded during the shooting,\u201d explained Maome.<\/p>\n

One of the men died on-scene, after suffering three fatal wounds to the upper body, while a second man was taken to Tembisa Hospital, under police guard, with seven bullet wounds.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe third suspect was able to escape after the man waiting in the vehicle dragged him into the car and sped away,\u201d Maome said.<\/p>\n
