A 33 year old man was found in a critical condition this afternoon after allegedly being shot in the stomach.
Paramedics that arrived on the scene found the man still in the driver’s seat of his Mazda bakkie, confused and dazed.
The man had to receive urgent medical attention as it appeared that he lost a lot of blood during the incident. He was stabilised on the scene and rushed off to a hospital in Alberton for further medical management.
It is understood that the alleged shooting took place a few blocks away from where paramedics found the man. The man explained that he drove off after the incident and pulled over outside an office block in Alberton.
Workers from the office block noticed the man in his vehicle and called for the emergency services.
The police attended the scene. At this stage it is not clear what exactly led to the incident.
