Testing the gun 😂😂🤣🤣😂

Injury on duty 😊

Zuma should be president again if you run out news kanje!

What attack? Spiritual ?😅🤦🏾‍♂️

I did warn against legalizing marijuana.

When under attack isnt one supposed to shoot at one's attackers?

Leg not Head. Syabonga mdali

Lekwala lamasepa

😂😂

Whaaaaat

Never wakeup an armed security guards by touching them. Call them from far away to avoid being shot.

Only in this country

Does that count as attempted murder?

If you not gossiping about Julius_S_Malema you write crap like this, how's this news worthy

He should never operate a firearm again.. to be immediately declared unfit

Mistakes do happen, but this one it's a fatal one.

Talk about shooting yourself in the foot

This are the results of buying security certificates,I mean how can u shoot urself.😢

Maybe his leg was attacking him.

Stuff happens when you sleeping and drinking on the job

Well, at least he didn’t shoot someone. Panic mechanic 🙄

Technically he was under attack, by himself 🤷🏾‍♂️

I wonder if he attended firearm training.

He panicked, he should've put his gun on safety, trigger finger away from the trigger. Lest we forget you can't shoot if no target has not been identified.
