The second police officer who was airlifted in Dobsonville, Soweto earlier today has died.
Dobsobsonville SAPS communications officer, Mzwakhe Xazi, has confirmed that two police officers were shot at this afternoon in a shoot-out with robbers trying to rob a Shoprite U-Save.
Mood on Dobsonville roads is sombre; police presence on every second as one of their own has fallen. Sad indeed #StopKillingOurPolice
