A man and a woman have been transported to a nearby hospital after a shooting occurred at a Bella Rosa Street complex in Tyger Valley on Monday 30 October.

The shooting happened before 12:00 at the woman’s place of work, PST, a training facility at the Montrose Place building.

Gerhard Lombard from Medwell SA said some of his staff assisted the couple before paramedics and police got to the scene.

According to a source at the scene, a man shot a woman before turning the gun on himself. “Both of them were alive before being transported to hospital,” the source said.

According to a source close to the woman, the man apparently called the woman downstairs to the entrance of the building, where he first shot her and then himself.

TygerBurger has the names of both victims, but because their families have not been notified yet, cannot release their identities.

It is believed that the man was the woman’s ex-husband.

Workers at the complex are not allowed to leave the building as the police were still busy with investigation. 

Police were not available for comment.
