According to the state newspaper 'The Herald' Nicholson was shot while trying rescue Mr Timothy Morgan who had been abducted by four heavily armed thieves posing as Criminal Investigations Department operatives investigating a case of theft of a laptop.
Insp Mabgweazara warned people against pursuing armed criminals.
"We are still pursuing the criminals but at the same time we would like to urge people to desist from confronting armed criminals on their own without the help of the police. These criminals are more dangerous because they took a bigger gun with ammunition," he said.
