Gunman had attempted to rob a jewellery shop
A teenage boy was shot and wounded in a shooting at the Golden Walk mall in Germiston on Tuesday, police said.
Warrant Officer Andre de Jager said the boy, aged 16, was wounded when two shots were fired after a man attempted to rob a jewellery shop at the mall.
He said the man entered Sterns and jumped over the counter, demanding jewellery and money.
