With confirmation from the Durban paramedics, Two security guards were killed by armed robbers during an attack in a business outlet in Springfield, Durban on Wednesday 3, November.

Emergency medical personnel were said to have rushed down to the scene of the attack but found one of the victims already dead from wounds from the gunfire while the other was said to be taking his final breaths.

“One man was found to have sustained fatal wounds and there were nothing paramedics could do to assist him. He was declared dead on arrival,” Emer-G-Med’s Kyle van Reenen.

The second victim, who was discovered in a critical condition, succumbed to injuries and lost his life shortly after paramedics had done their utmost to keep him alive at the scene.

“Reports from the scene allege the men were working as security officers at the business when they were confronted by armed suspects during a business robbery.

“A shoot-out ensued, resulting in the tragedy,” said Van Reenen.

“The South African Police Services were in attendance and will be conducting the necessary investigations accordingly.”
