Durban pupil fights for his life after school shooting

A Durban teenager is fighting for his life after he was shot on a school field on Friday afternoon‚ allegedly by a former pupil.

It is understood that the attack at Foresthaven Secondary in Phoenix was the result of a long-standing feud between the two youngsters.

Netcare 911 spokesman Chris Botha said paramedics found the boy with life-threatening injuries.

“Exact details of the incident will remain a subject for police investigation‚” said Botha.

“The advanced life support paramedic and her team worked fervently at the scene to stabilise the child before he was transported to a specialised hospital for the care that he required.”
