The incident took place outside Marklands Secondary School in Shallcross, south of Durban, in KwaZulu Natal, on Monday morning.
It is unclear exactly who fired the fatal shot.
One of the alleged hijackers is also reported to have died, apparently after they lost control of the car.
Police on the scene have confirmed a 9-year-old girl was killed. A suspect was also shot dead. The girl’s father was hijacked near Marklands Secondary School, a few hundred metres from here. #ShallcrossShooting
