An alleged robber has been shot dead at a house in Glen
Austin, Midrand on Wednesday, Johannesburg paramedics said.
Netcare 911 spokesperson Nick Dollman said the man was found lying on
the kitchen floor with a gunshot wound in his chest.
Captain Matlhodi Motadi said the man broke the kitchen window to gain
access to the house.
"However once he entered the house, the dog started barking and awoke
the home owner who then shot the man, killing him instantly.
"It is clear that he was trying to rob the couple," said Motadi.
An inquest docket has been opened. - Sapa
