The Airports Company South Africa Acsa has confirmed to IOL that an investigation has been launched after an accidental firearm discharge occurred inside the terminal building at King Shaka International Airport KSIA.
Shogan Pillay was at the airport when the incident transpired on Saturday.
He said he was with family, waiting for more relatives to arrive from Thailand.
We were at international arrivals. The flight was a bit delayed and there were quite a few other people waiting for arrivals, Pillay told IOL.
While waiting, a man, wearing a black long jacket, in the crowd made conversation with my cousin. As the passengers started coming through the arrivals door, the man dropped his firearm and a round was discharged.
