Pupil shot in bus robbery─── 08:30 Tue, 14 May 2019
Two Pretoria school pupils are recovering in hospital after one was shot and another injured in a bus robbery in Mamelodi.
The bus was transporting pupils from Curro and Brooklyn schools when the incident occurred on Monday.
Tshwane Community Safety MMC, Karen Meyer, said the affected students will be receiving counselling.
"The one pupil that was shot is stable at the moment and the other pupils that sustained injuries are also stable at the moment, so as far as we know the incident was very traumatic for the other students so they will need counselling," said Meyer.
Meyer said the newly adopted, revised and strategic framework for crime prevention, safety and security of the TMPD will ensure high police visibility.
"We are going back to visible policing, we've got so many departments within the metro police, cable theft unit, drug unit but its time we have a collective working situation within our region."
