An East London soccer coach allegedly shot and killed his wife and two children before turning the gun on himself.

The man, believed to be in his 30s, survived the incident and is in a critical condition in hospital. 

He is the coach of popular Duncan Village soccer club, Birmingham City.
East London police spokesman Lieutenant-Colonel Mtati Tana said the motive of the shooting was still unclear. “We can't speculate about the motive of the shooting but we can confirm that a woman, her two children were shot and killed. A man, who is suspected to have committed the crime, survived and the murder weapon was found on the scene,” said Tana.
