“In Fish Hoek the suspects opened fire at the police and wounded a constable in the shoulder. He was admitted to hospital in a stable condition. The suspects fled towards the Fish Hoek sportsgrounds where three, aged between 24 and 28, were arrested. The fourth suspect evaded arrest and is being sought,” Traut said.Once charged, the suspects would appear in court in Simons Town, where bail would be opposed, Traut added.
