Motorist have been urged to avoid the N1 north.


JMPD spokesperson Edna Mamonyane said the scene could take a while to clear.


"Only one lane is open. Because it's a crime scene it's expected to take a while before the road is cleared."


Details surrounding the shooting remain sketchy.


Emer-G-Med said a suspect was shot in the chest.


"He was in a critical condition. The second suspect only sustained minor injuries," said Emer-G-Med spokesperson Max Cohen. 


This is a developing story and will be updated as the information becomes available.
