5 April 2017, Gauteng: A man, believed to be in his 30s, was killed this morning after an apparent hijacking this morning at the Ontdekkers and Mouton Road intersection in Discovery, west of Johannesburg.

ER24 paramedics arrived on the scene and found the body of a man lying in front of a light motor vehicle.

Police shot & killed a suspected hijacker this morning. The man was found in possession of an unlicensed firearm, which will form part of an investigation.



The man was assessed and found to show no signs of life. CPR and advanced life support were immediately initiated, in an effort to revive the man.

Unfortunately, after 20 minutes, no vital signs returned and the man was declared dead at the scene.

It is believed that a local law enforcement officer had noticed several armed men attempting to hijack another man. The officer then apparently opened fire.


Authorities will be investigating this matter further.
