SAPS denies pupil hurt during Meyerton taxi rank shooting
Police in Gauteng have launched an investigation into a shooting at the Meyerton taxi rank on Tuesday morning.
Preliminary reports indicate that the gunfire erupted between members of two private security companies.
One security officer sustained a gunshot wound and was rushed to a local hospital for treatment.
During the combing of the scene, police recovered a number of firearms.
"While the police were combing the scene at the rank, they recovered ten AK-47 rifles and nine 9mm pistols. The motive of the shooting and the ownership of the firearms are subject to investigations", said police spokesperson Dimakatso Nevhuhulwi.
Nevhuhulwi dismissed social media allegations that a pupil was hurt in the crossfire.
"The reports that one scholar was shot are not true since the police went to the school and verified that no scholar was injured during the shooting."
No arrests have been made thus far.
