Robbers shoot Pretoria man

Johannesburg - A man was shot and wounded outside his home in Silverton while trying to fight off four men attempting to steal his car, Pretoria police said on Thursday.

Constable Mabel Sibanda said the man's wife was walking her dog outside the house around 21:00 on Wednesday, when she noticed four men fiddling with their car.

"The man came out of the house after hearing his wife screaming and he tried to fight off the men but one of them shot him in the chest.

"Then another men went inside the house and took their cellphone. The robbers then escaped on foot," Sibanda said.

The wounded man was taken to a nearby hospital.

A case of house robbery and attempted murder was opened.

Eduard Bloem says... really? people are so idiotic! a tiger is a tiger, yes it might be tame, but a wild animal is never truly tame. it stays a wild animal. The tiger will however not have just bitten her for no reason, tigers are quickly aggravated so it was probably tempted or provoked. Blaming the tiger for following instinct will be preposterous. i have worked on game farms and have worked with animals of all shapes and sizes and i also have some bites of different animals. you attempt to pet a wild animal at own risk, wild animals even tame still have the wild in them.
