“It was further reported that there was shooting during the incident, and one of the guards was shot and killed. Police cannot disclose many details at this stage as they are still gathering facts. It should suffice to say that emergency service providers and police officers, including detectives, are currently attending to the scene,” Shapumba said.

Meanwhile, police have also been alerted to an armed robbery that took place at Shoprite in Katutura, Windhoek. Details of the incident are still in the early stages.
