Police said four people were also wounded.
Gauteng police spokesperson Colonel Dimakatso Nevhuhulwi said it was reported that a man with a firearm wanted to enter a restaurant, which has a no firearm policy, and that is when the altercation started, leading to a shooting between the man's bodyguards and security.
