According to Limpopo police spokesperson, Col Malesela Ledwaba, Levubu police responded swiftly after receiving a call about a shooting. On arrival at the scene, officers found the father on the ground in a pool of blood outside the house. He was still alive, with a 9mm pistol next to him and several spent cartridges scattered around.
