A third victim, who was shot during the incident, is receiving medical treatment in hospital, police spokesperson Captain Tintswalo Sibeko said.

"A joint team, consisting of detectives from Gauteng Serious and Violent Crime Unit, provincial Crime Intelligence and Mamelodi East detectives arrested the suspect at a filling station in Pretoria," he said.
