Security guards at a Midrand mosque near the scene where a white woman was shot and killed earlier today have described to Eyewitness News how the driver rushed into the complex frantically screaming for help.<\/p>\n
The woman was shot in the head during suspected taxi violence this morning while the driver was wounded in the arm.<\/p>\n
Both women were on their way to work at the time.<\/p>\n
Security guard Sydney Mhluzi says he and his colleague heard several shots being fired from a busy intersection on Old Pretoria and Allandale Roads.<\/p>\n
Mhluzi says they then saw two women racing into the complex in a white car, the driver screaming \u201cplease help me, my friend has been shot\u201d.<\/p>\n
He says they opened the gates after seeing blood gushing from the passenger’s wounds.<\/p>\n
Mhluzi says they called police and ambulances while trying to help the women.<\/p>\n
The suspects drove off\u00a0.<\/p>\n
Three black men have been arrested.\u00a0\u201cThey are aged between 50 and 65, and will appear in the Alexandra Magistrate\u2019s Court on Monday,\u201d said Captain Augustinah Selepe.<\/p>\n
