KZN police spokesperson, Robert Netshiunda: “Police in Greenwood Park have opened two counts of attempted murder for investigations after a woman, believed to be in her early 50s, and her 30-year-old daughter were shot and critically wounded in an apparent drive-by shooting on Inanda Road in Springfield.”
He said police know the vehicle in which the suspects fled.
“A manhunt is on for the suspects who were driving in front of the victims’ vehicle, stopped, and opened fire before fleeing from the scene of the crime in a white NP 200 bakkie.”
