A 30-year-old man shot and seriously wounded his girlfriend before turning the gun on himself in Brown Street in the Pretoria city centre on Sunday afternoon, police said on Monday. The couple were outside the man’s fast food outlet when an argument broke out between them at 2pm, Inspector Anton Breedt said. The man, identified as Johannes Ratselane, then shot the 25-year-old woman numerous times in her body. He then turned the gun on himself and died on the scene. The woman was taken to Pretoria Academic Hospital where she was in a serious condition. The couple’s three-year-old boy was present when the shooting took place. – Sapa
