Pretoria smallholder shot, injured by attackers from outside homestead NAME UNKNOWN FROM SAPS REPORT
Pretoria – October 11 2010 - A 58-year-old unnamed smallholder was shot and wounded during an armed attack, says ER24's Vanessa Jackson."An unknown number of suspects were outside a window, and shot the unarmed man through a window at close range, hitting him in the shoulder. The man then fled deeper into the house where the suspects pursued him."The man explained that as he fled was being pursued, more shots were fired, but he was lucky not to be hit again," said Jackson. The gunmen strolled away several minutes later just as the SAPS arrived. Nothing was robbed. His wife and teenaged-child were traumatised but physically unharmed. The smallholder was taken to a nearby hospital. Of course, the SA police 'could not immediately provide details of the incident." They refer to it as a ‘thwarted robbery’ but nothing was robbed. http://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/News/Man-shot-through-window-20101011
