Johannesburg - A man was killed and a woman wounded after three men robbed a butchery in Boksburg on Friday, East Rand police said.
"The man (age unknown) was sitting in his car outside the butchery, near East Rand Train Station, at 19:00," said Captain Senza Mohale.
He said the men had just robbed the butchery and were running away when they saw him sitting in his car. They then shot at the car as they thought that he was a police officer.
"He was shot in the head, and died at the scene."
Another woman (age unknown) who was walking near the butchery was also shot, and then taken to hospital.
"The men fled and police are still searching for them," Mohale said.
