A 30-year-old man was shot dead during a hijacking in Meyerton in Johannesburg on Friday night, paramedics said.
"Paramedics arrived at the Meyerton fire station and found a man was shot through the heart and right leg during an alleged hijacking by three men around 8 pm. He was unresponsive," said ER24 spokesman Werner Vermaak.
Vermaak said paramedics attempted advanced life support resuscitation but it was unsuccessful.
"The hijack victim was subsequently pronounced dead on scene," he said.
In a separate incident a shop owner was wounded on Friday after he was shot by robbers in Lenasia, south of Johannesburg, police said.
Spokesman Inspector Kay Makhubele said armed robbers stormed into a clothing shop around 4pm and pointed a gun at the owner demanding money.
"The owner resisted and he was shot on the back after which the suspects ran away. No one has been arrested since," said Makhubele.
Police are investigating a case of attempted robbery and attempted murder.
