A 61 year-old man was shot dead while opening his cash loans shop in Jeffreys Bay at 7.30am on Monday, police said. "Three men approached the shop as the owner opened the doors and fired two shots, hitting the owner in the left hand and chest," said Warrant Officer Gerda Swart. He died on the scene. His wife pushed a panic alarm inside the shop. The three robbers ran way without taking anything. Police were following up on some leads, but no arrests had yet been made, Swart said.
