An argument in the parking lot of a nightclub has left a Johannesburg Metropolitan Police Department (JMPD) officer dead – and a SAPS officer is believed to have fired the fatal shot.
The incident happened in the early hours of Monday morning the at Drama nightclub in Braamfontein.
Both officers were off-duty at the time.
JMPD spokesperson Xolani Fihla said the deceased was allegedly exiting the parking lot when a vehicle prevented him from leaving.
"An argument ensued between the driver and the officer, and shots were fired," he said.
"The (JMPD) officer was declared dead on the scene."
Fihla said it was later discovered that the alleged shooter was a SAPS member.
He added:
There were other occupants in the vehicle, and according to our knowledge, he has not yet been arrested.
News24 understands that the police officer was in his vehicle with his friend when they were allegedly approached by the deceased, who is said to have had a firearm in his hand.
Allegations are that he started assaulting the SAPS officer outside the nightclub.
It is further alleged that the SAPS officer retaliated and fired at the metro cop.
Fihla said the Hilbrow police would investigate the matter.
SAPS directed News24 to the Independent Police Investigative Directorate for comment.
IPID's Robbie Raburabu confirmed the shooting, saying it had left a metro police officer dead.
"The incident is said to have happened in the early hours of Monday morning in Braamfontein in front of what is said to be an alcohol-drinking place.
"There have not been any arrests yet, but IPID is investigating circumstances surrounding the shooting and death. Unfortunately, the names of people involved cannot be made public at this stage," Raburabu said.

That's a tough one.... under normal circumstances and here in the United States the blue is seen before the black by most but this didn't happen in the US and this was not what most would call normal police behavior.

That was defense. Other cop was making an aggressive action, with his weapon in hand. All I see here is someone finding out that even police have no right to threaten anyone at all. Wonder how much more hostile this guy was towards those who couldn't defend themselves.
