Gunman shoots dead couple, their 2 children

A gunman has shot dead a couple, their son and daughter.

The other family member present at the time of the shooting escaped.

The gunman is unknown, and no one knows the reason for the murder.

A neighbour, who did not want to be identified, confirmed hearing gunshots from the fateful apartment.

“I looked through the window to see what was happening but I saw nothing. I then received a call from another neighbour informing me that four family members have been shot dead

“This is scary because the people that were shot were very good people,” the neighbour said.

The incident, originally reported by The Witness, happened in Imbali Unit 14, in South Africa on Thursday.

“Police are yet to comment on the killings,” the paper stated.
