Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Two men, believed to be in their 40s, were gunned down in the Durban CBD on Tuesday morning, authorities say.<\/p>\n

Police spokesperson Brigadier Jay Naicker said it was reported that the two men – a tow truck driver and an e-hailing driver – were standing outside their vehicles when they were ambushed by two armed men.<\/p>\n

Naicker said the gunmen fired several shots at the two men with high-calibre rifles.<\/p>\n

Emer-G-Med said paramedics who responded to the scene at the intersection of Stanger and Argyle roads, at about 11:00, found the two men with multiple gunshot wounds and in a state of cardiac arrest.<\/p>\n

\u201cResuscitation efforts were attempted on both men, however, it was unsuccessful and the men were declared dead on the scene.”<\/p>\n

Naicker said the motive for the shooting was yet to be established and a search for the gunmen was under way.<\/p>\n
