A 46-year-old farmer was shot through his bedroom window while
sleeping on his farm near Potchefstroom, North West police said on
Sunday.
The man was shot at around midnight on Saturday on the farm
Rietfontein in the Buffelshoek district, between Potchefstroom and
Parys, spokesperson Inspector Wilmarie van der Merwe said.
A shotgun was used in the attack.
"They (the attackers) did not break into the house and nothing was
stolen."
Police did not know the motive of the shooting, nor how many attackers
there were.
The man's father, who lives with him on the farm, was also in the
house at the time of the shooting, but was not injured.
ER24 spokesperson Vanessa Jackson said the man was taken to
Potchefstroom Provincial Hospital.
"He had multiple wounds on the right-hand side of his back. His wounds
are deemed to be critical."
A case of attempted murder was opened. - Sapa
