A man was killed in a shooting incident in Blyvooruitsig in Carletonville yesterday afternoon.
ER24 paramedics were alerted to the scene by the police. Upon their arrival, shortly before 17H00, they found a man lying in a field. He sustained a gunshot wound to his back and was found to be in a critical condition.
ER24 transported the man to hospital, but unfortunately shortly afterwards, while in hospital, he succumbed to his injuries.
It is believed that the man and a woman were walking home when they were allegedly robbed. The woman did not sustain any injuries.
The exact circumstances surrounding the incident were not known to our paramedics, but police were on the scene for further investigations.
