Man shot during church service
An armed gang walked into a Randburg church service on Wednesday evening, shot and wounded a man and robbed other worshippers, Johannesburg police said on Thursday.
"Eight men and one woman armed with firearms entered the church and took cellphones and money from members of the congregation at the Riversong church," said Captain Douglas Trollip.
"Then they took the caretaker to his room which is on the same premises. They took his DVD player and cellphone and then they shot him in the face."
Earlier, ER24 spokesman Werner Vermaak said the 50-year-old man was shot "execution style" in the mouth and was taken to hospital in a critical condition.
"A 19-year-old girl was apparently pistol whipped by one of the robbers. She sustained minor head injuries and is in a stable condition," said Vermaak.
