An intern doctor and his girlfriend are both in a serious condition after been shot outside a residence in the Morningside area Saturday afternoon.
ER24 paramedics from Durban rushed to the scene and found both patients lying on a drive way outside a house. The two patients who were both in a serious condition were been treated by their fellow friends and helped assist the paramedics in treating them further.
The one patient had sustained what looked like a gunshot wound to the stomach region, while the other patient had sustained also what looked like multiple gunshot wounds to the leg. Both patients needed advanced life support intervention and further stabilisation before they were transported to a nearby hospital in a serious condition, where trauma staff was waiting to take over the medical care.
The circumstances or the motive around the alleged shooting is unclear but the local authorities will investigate the incident further.
