Stinkwater, Gauteng -

A man was shot dead and another critically wounded in a shoot-out with police in Stinkwater, north of Pretoria, police said on Thursday.

Captain Dennis Adriao said four armed men robbed a general store on Wednesday afternoon.

“The men were on their way out of the store when they noticed police approaching. They opened fire.”

A shoot-out ensued during which one man was shot dead and another wounded by a shot to the head.

Police arrested the remaining two armed robbers. The injured man was taken to a nearby hospital.

The men were expected to appear in the Temba Magistrate's Court on Friday on charges of attempted murder, armed robbery and possession of unlicensed firearms and ammunition.

“All the money taken from the store was recovered, together with three revolvers and a Toyota Conquest.” - Sapa
