Police shot dead a suspected copper cable thief and a police officer was shot and wounded in Soweto on Thursday morning, Gauteng police said.<\/p>\n

The shootings took place around 3am when police pounced on seven men stealing copper cable in Protea Glen, said Warrant Officer Kay Makhubele.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe men ran in different directions and officers gave chase,\u201d said Makhubele.<\/p>\n

One man was tackled by a policeman and a scuffle ensued.<\/p>\n

The man managed to grab the officer’s gun from his holster and shot the officer in the left hand and left leg.<\/p>\n

Police then opened fire and shot the man in the hand and chest. He died on the scene. The wounded officer was taken to hospital in a serious but stable condition.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe remaining suspects managed to get away but police are searching for them,\u201d said Makhubele.<\/p>\n

The stolen copper was recovered. – Sapa<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
