Hijacker with toy gun shot - BMW driver investigated ?
2006-01-26
Durban - A man brandishing a toy gun was shot in both legs when he allegedly attempted to hijack a BMW in Isithebe, north of Durban, on Wednesday afternoon, police said. The 23-year-old allegedly approached a motorist stopped at a traffic light at about 14:00 and pulled a gun from a black plastic bag, spokesman Superintendent Jay Naicker said on Thursday. "The 51-year-old driver also drew his personal firearm and opened fire on the suspect, hitting him in both legs."

Naicker said the man was taken to Stanger hospital where he was in a stable condition. Police were investigating a case of attempted hijacking - and one of attempted murder against the motorist.
That makes sense. Not a lot of sense, but sense. Of a sort. Kinda.
