“ALS Paramedics are on the scene of a shooting on Higginson Highway over the N2 Bridge. Reports are multiple people have been shot,” said ALS spokesperson Garrith Jamieson.
According to anti-crime activist Yusuf Abramjee, the shooting broke out after a high-speed chase following an attempted hijacking in Musgrave.
Photographs of the scene show wrecked vehicles and what appears to be dead bodies strewn in the road.
The South African Police Service (SAPS) is pictured on the scene but is yet to release a statement on the matter – it will be added once it becomes available.
