Johannesburg – Four suspected criminals were killed in a shoot-out on the N12 highway in Benoni on Friday morning, Gauteng paramedics said.


Officials arrived at the scene near the Putfontein off-ramp and found two vehicles on the side of the road, ER24 spokesperson Russel Meiring said.


Two men, believed to have been suspects in a criminal matter, were found in one of the vehicles. They had been shot and were declared dead on the scene.


Two other men with gunshot wounds, lying a short distance away in the veld, were also declared dead.


Meiring said two law enforcement officers sustained minor to moderate injuries.
