Since the tragic death, speculation has been rife on social media that a perpetrator was arrested. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The provincial Hawks spokesperson W\/O Zinzi Hani described the rumours as unfounded. \u201cThere\u2019s no person arrested with regards the case. Those were just rumours. The officers are investigating it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Blockquote\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_fea36627\">\n<div class=\"text\">\u201cAn attack on the officer is an attack on the state.\u201d<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"citation\">Mbulelo Bambelo <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>On Wednesday 13 June, provincial police spokesperson Brig Novela Potelwa said the reports from the scene indicated members of Khayelitsha Police Station\u2019s Crime Prevention Unit were conducting a stop-and search operation in Q-Block at approximately 21:30 when they came under fire from an armed suspect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe police have since launched a manhunt for the suspect,\u201d she said. \u201cThe police have opened a murder and attempted murder docket. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe investigation has since been taken over by Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (DPCI) investigators. Psychosocial support for the colleagues of the deceased member is currently being provided by the SAPS employee health and wellness practitioners.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Khayelitsha Community Policing Forum chair Mbulelo Bambelo said an attack on the officer is an attack on the state. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs we know that our police stations do not have enough resources. We take the officers as part of our resources. They (officers) are there to serve us. And by killing one of them you are leaving a void that is hard to be filled.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said that they will mobilise the community to fight crime. He stated that the community has a responsibility to protect the officers at all times.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Hawks dismissed rumours of someone having been arrested
