A MOTORIST shot a security guard in a parking area of The Don night club in Warren Park D, Harare, on Sunday before threatening to shoot anyone who wanted to help the injured guard.
The motorist, who was driving a Ford Ranger, registration number ACT 2324, then fled from the scene.
The guard was shot on the right thigh.
The two had exchanged harsh words after the security guard accused the motorist of blocking entrance into the night club, which is a very popular joint on Sunday nights.
The motorist pulled out an unidentified pistol and shot the guard once on the right thigh.
When other witnesses tried to help the guard, who was lying helpless on the ground, the motorist cocked his firearm again and threatened to shoot anyone offering assistance to the guard.
