The KingAlarm security guard who was shot and injured in the thigh on Wednesday is reportedly in a mood of elation as he continues to recover in hospital.

Managing director of the security firm, John Azar, expressed delight at the admirable recovery of his employee as he said, "Thank God, he is in good spirits and is in stable condition,".

The guard was shot as he was a member of an armed response team that came under fire while responding to a location at Riverton Boulevard. The fire was returned and he was shot and injured.

He was rushed to the hospital following the shooting.
