A 55 year old doctor was shot and killed in the Edleen area of Kempton Park this evening just after 20h00. It is believed that the doctor went to lock the kitchen door when he was attacked by several gunmen.
Netcare 911 paramedics arrived on scene and found the 55 year old doctor lying in the courtyard just outside the kitchen door. They raced over to treat the man but on examination found that he had been fatally wounded.
One of the suspects was wounded by his fellow gunman in the fracas, police arrested the wounded suspect some meters away from the crime scene. Paramedics found the wounded man lying in a prostrate position on the roadway with a gunshot wound to his leg.
After stabilising the suspect he was transported under guard to an area hospital for further treatment.
