Two police officers were injured in a shootout on Monday night, after pursuing suspects believed to be involved in a business robbery and murder.
The Ennerdale Trio Task Team received information from JMPD K9 and equestrian members, after the shack a perpetrator resided in was identified by a suspect who had already been arrested.
The shack was located in Mountain View information settlement in Grasmere.
Police knocked on the door, identified themselves, and were promptly shot at by a suspect inside the shack.
Officers then retaliated, and a shootout ensued.
A JMPD officer and a SAPS member were shot, and taken to hospital. They are both reported to be in a stable condition.
The suspect who shot at police fled the scene, and is on the run.
A case of attempted murder has been opened at Lenasia SAPS.
