A man was shot when two men robbed him inside a motor spares shop in Grahamstown on Saturday 14 February.
The man was inside Autozone, Grahamstown, around 11.30am, when two men demanded money from him at gunpoint. During a scuffle, the robbers' gun went off and the man was shot in the leg. He is in hospital.

Staff at the store were shocked and distressed when Grocott's Mail spoke to them shortly after the incident.
“I was in my office when I heard fighting," a senior employee told Grocott's Mail shortly after the incident.
"These two guys were pointing a gun at the customer’s head and they were fighting with him asking for money. 
"The guy had come from the bank having drawn some money and he came here to buy lights. These guys must have followed him from there,” the employee said.

The robbers fled with the customer's cash.
Another employee told Grocott’s Mail the customer was on his way to buy a car and had stopped at Autozone to buy lights. 
“I was at the back when this happened," the man said.
"I heard a gun-shot and I ran to the back.
"Just as I was going to open the back gate I saw the guy with the gun and I was so scared. I thought he was going to shoot me,” he said.

Staff said another customer who tried to escape was assaulted by the robbers. They took her purse and cellphone.  
The customer was also rushed to Settlers Hospital.
