Manhunt launched after airport shooting
Police have launched a manhunt after an armed robbery at the Bram Fischer International Airport outside Bloemfontein on Wednesday.
Police spokesperson, Motantsi Makhele, says three men were transporting an undisclosed amount of money.
When the men left the plane and entered the departure and arrival centre in the airport building, another man reportedly approached one of the three men carrying a bag filled with money.
Reports earlier indicated the three men who travelled with the money were security guards from a private company in Johannesburg.
One of the suspects was allegedly wounded after shooting himself.
According to Makhele witnesses are still being interviewed within the airport terminal.
"This man started firing about two shots and they managed to run out. The other two were still inside, he managed to grab the one bag. There was a vehicle used for a getaway."
