Four people have been killed including a 15-year-old boy after a fire broke out at a gun store in Glenanda shopping centre, south of Johannesburg.

Another man was critically injured. The fire resulted in an explosion at the gun shop.

“Three men, a woman and a 15- year-old boy that had apparently been in the store at the time had been rescued by bystanders and pulled to a safe distance. Medics assessed the patients and found all five were in critical condition. PR and life interventions were immediately initiated, unfortunately, after some time they succumbed to their injuries and were declared dead. The fifth critical patient was transferred to the hospital for urgent care,” says ER24 spokesperson, Russell Meiring.
