Shots fired in hostage situation on Pretoria estate

An armed man opened fire during a hostage situation at the Meadows complex in Moreleta Park on Wednesday afternoon, Pretoria Record reports. Two people were shot, Brinant security operations manager Anton Nieuwoudt told the outlet.

Pretoria police have not yet confirmed the report, EWN says.

“It’s bad," a witness told media. "They landed a helicopter and they're obviously negotiating now but the situation is very bad. They won’t allow people in or out and the whole place is on lock down.”
