News 24 is reporting that a police chopper has been "shot down" in Soweto during a pursuit this morning. However, some speculation is that it hit powerlines. Crew of three rushed to Milpark Hospital. Anyone with more info?

Crew is critical but stable. Perps at large...or course...

Reports say the helo was fired upon, however it is being reported that they flew into high tension wires.

...you crash and mob tries to loot your bleeding body of anything they can get their hands on. Luckily a good samaritan stopped them from stealing the weapons, I read.:hmm:
