Although the tragic event occurred during school hours, attempts to get the Police to the scene and take control proved difficult as the force arrived 14 minutes after the first call was made to them.

When Police got to the scene eventually, they struggled to nab the armed man, with two officers reportedly seriously injured.

Information from the Police department suggests that the injuries sustained by the Policemen are not life-threatening.

The suspect had earlier injured a 33-year-old when he crashed his vehicle into a building in Laing Close on Tuesday and then alighted to physically attack the man, who sustained a neck wound from the struggle.
