    Takes a very brave person to run toward the gun fire. Big up to SAPS!

    From what I understand, they are the SA equivalent to US SWAT.

    In the situation described by the OP make yourself as small as possible, get behind cover and don't produce your firearm unless you absolutely need to, cops and security people at that stage are likely to see anyone with a firearm in their hand as a threat, and you can't blame them.

    I would not like to be in that situation. I remember a colleague coming back from lunchtime with a very pale looking face. He was trapped in traffic while there was a shootout between security guards and robbers. I believe they robbed the Menlyn retail centre(± 6 years ago). He told us that whilst being trapped in traffic, a security guard came running up to his car and returned fire at the robbers while using his car as a shield!

    There were two armed robberies resulting in shootouts between the Police and suspects at Menlyn retail park in 2010, on the 21st(?) of Sept and the other around 22 Oct. The second one made big headlines in the news. In the first one shots were only fired between the suspects and the police. In the second one a lot of shooting was done by both the suspects and the police, from retail park right up to De Beers where the new hotel is. No security guards did any shooting, one was shot in his neck at the exit to Garsfontein Rd, but no security guard fired any shots.
