Airports Company of South Africa spokesman Colin Naidoo confirmed that a woman had been killed.
“I can confirm that a shooting took place. What I do know is it seems like it was a dispute between a male and female security officers from Bosasa Security,” he said.
“The male shot the female and handed himself to SAPS. The female officer has died.This occurred away from any airport operations so there is no disruptions or delays.”
He said that police have cordoned off the area and as it is a crime scene it is now a police matter.
