A teacher was left critical after being shot in the head outside his school. It was just after 8 am earlier yesterday (Tuesday) when the tragic incident happened in Newlands, Durban.
This left the residents living close to the school in great shock.
A resident who asked not to be named said she was accompanying her daughter to school when the shooting took place.
“I got so scared and decided to go back home with my daughter because I was afraid,” she said.
She said she didn’t see the make of the car but she remembers that it was black.
The spokesman for the Emer-G-Med paramedic Kyle van Reenan said their paramedics together with Netcare911, responded to the scene of a shooting incident at a school in the Newlands West area of Durban.
He said on arrival at the scene a man believed to be approximately thirty years of age was found lying on the roadway next to a vehicle.
“Closer inspection found the man to have sustained a single gunshot wound to the head and he was in a critical condition.
Emergency Care Practitioners worked fervently to stabilize the man before he was transported rapidly by ambulance to a nearby hospital for further definitive care,” he said.
He said the circumstances surrounding the incident and the events proceeding it are unclear and will form the subject of a South African Police Services investigation.
The KZN cops spokeswoman Lieutenant Colonel Nqobile Gwala said it’s alleged that a 28-year-old teacher was at Riverdene Drive in Newlands West when he was shot in the head by three unknown suspects.
“The suspects fled the scene in their gateway black vehicle. The teacher was taken to the hospital for medical attention. A case of attempted murder was opened at Newlands East police station for investigation,” said Gwala.
