The Gauteng Police’s provincial spokesperson, Capt Julia Claassen, said earlier this morning that the shootout was a result of an alleged domestic dispute.
A man is believed to have shot dead his daughter’s boyfriend and the boyfriend’s father (46).
The 47-year-old suspect is facing two counts of murder.
Claassen said a forensic team are still gathering evidence at the scene.
Police are expected to release further details of the incident later today.
