A Kimberly security guard, who was manning the door of a service station store, allegedly shot a customer after denying him access for not wearing a face mask.
The 37-year-old security guard was arrested Friday and faces charges of attempted murder, Kimberley police said.
According to police spokesman Brigadier Mohale Ramatseba, the accused controlled access to the store around 5:20 p.m., when the client approached without a face mask.
“The security guard is alleged to have denied access to a 36-year-old customer who was not wearing a mask at the store. An argument between the security guard and the customer is alleged to have occurred. The customer reportedly was shot in the face, “said Ramatseba.
The victim was taken to a local hospital for treatment.
“The security guard has been arrested and the firearm used has been confiscated for further investigation. The suspect is expected to appear in the Kimberley trial court on Monday,” added Ramatseba.
