When officers approached the men, one of the suspects drew a weapon which he pointed at the officers, who then opened fire. One of the men was shot three times and was taken to a nearby hospital under police guard.
A pistol and 10 rounds of ammunition were recovered at the scene.
The two men, aged 31 and 39 years, have since appeared in the Scottburgh Magistrate’s Court on charges of murder.
