ER24 paramedics were called to a shooting that had taken place near Thornville railway lines, just outside Pietermaritzburg this afternoon.
Paramedics arrived on the scene and found two patients that had sustained injuries. The first patient was found with an injury to the head and neck and in a serious condition. The second patient had sustained a wound to the thigh and arm.
It is believed that the injured were suspects in an alleged armed robbery that had taken place earlier.
Both patients were transported to a local hospital for further care and the incident is being investigated by the authorities.
