A female police constable, in her twenties, allegedly shot a superior officer in Louis Botha Road near the Cleveland police station, Gauteng police said on Sunday.
Captain Cheryl Engelbrecht said the constable was on the way back to the station when she allegedly shot the officer, in his thirties, around 11.30am on Sunday.
The pair worked together in social crime prevention.
The constable had a case of assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm against her because she had previously allegedly assaulted a female civilian worker at the station.
The constable had asked the officer to accompany her to a senior officer's house to discuss her assault case.
