A G4S security guard has been hailed as a hero on social media after he shot armed robbers, wounding two of them, during an attack in the Free State.

"He saw three armed men and then they started shooting at him and he retaliated and shot back. Two of them [alleged robbers] were shot in the leg and a lady from Checkers was also shot in her leg," said Steyn."Give him a month's sick leave and a well-deserved holiday ... what a hero, he held on to the company assets right till the end ... surprised those two and one ahead ...

A second comment read:"Well done officer! That was a close call. I love his level of preparedness and awareness of his environment. He had his hand right on his pistol at the right time."
