Shooting at Church
A 50 year old man was shot execution style in the mouth last night at the Riversong Church north of Randburg.
Paramedics from ER24 that arrived first on the scene found the man lying outside the doors of the church with a serious wound to his mouth and face.
Bystanders explained to paramedics that the man went outside during the congregation and when he opened the door an alleged armed robber pushed a gun in his mouth and pulled the trigger. The man fell to the ground in a critical condition.
It is understood that the robbers then went inside of the church and demanded cash and jewelry from the people inside of the church. A 19 year old girl was apparently pistol whipped by one of the robbers. She sustained minor head injuries and is in a stable condition.
Paramedics had to act quickly and placed the man that was shot in the mouth on life support and rushed him off to a nearby hospital for further medical management. He is in a critical condition in the hospital.
The South African Police Services attended the scene and will be investigating.
