| Hijack suspects shot
dead Johannesburg - Two men were shot dead during an attempted hijacking in Hyde Park on Thursday, Johannesburg police said. Superintendent Chris Wilken said four men jumped over a wall of a Hyde Park home at 07:30 when the houseowner was in his car with his three daughters, aged 13, 12 and 10, ready to take them to school. Two of the armed hijackers demanded the house keys and ordered the man out of his car. He handed over the keys and then produced his own firearm shooting one suspect in the head and killing him. Two of the four hijackers ran away, but the fourth man remained and threatened to shoot the children. Their father then fired two shots, killing him instantly, said Wilkens. Police confiscated a 9mm Norinco pistol and ten rounds of ammunition.(he defends his family and they take his gun !?! ) Neither the 42-year-old man nor his children were hurt in the incident. |
Using guns to stop terrorists shouldn't be limited to airplanes, he insists. "We should encourage off-duty police, and responsible citizens, to carry guns in most public places because cops can't be everywhere.
