Last week, a pupil at Dowerglen High school in Edenvale was hospitalised after gunmen entered the school and started firing shots at random.
The four men were being sought by security guards who spotted the men allegedly robbing a nearby telecommunications tower. Two were arrested at the scene while the other two fled to the school where the shots were fired. One was arrested while the fourth escaped.
