Netcare 911 responded to reports of a shooting at a residence off Inanda Road in Siyanda Durban.
Reports from the scene indicate that three adult males had been attacked in their home by an unknown number of gunmen.
Paramedics were then redirected from the scene to a local clinic as all three patients had been rushed to by members of the public.
One adult male sustained a gunshot wound to his chest and the other two sustained gunshot wounds to their arms and legs.
All three patients were found to be in a serious condition and required Advanced Life Support intervention to stabilise them.
Once treated all the patients were transported by ambulance to hospital for further treatment.
Circumstances leading up to the shooting and the number of gunmen are not known, however the SAPS was on scene and will be investigating.
