Durban - A man shot dead his girlfriend and then shot himself in his Durban home on Monday, police said.

Police spokesperson Michael Read said the 35-year-old man shot his girlfriend, Nomakhosi Gumede, 28, in the head before turning the gun on himself.

Details were not immediately available but Read said the man was a member of the SA National Defence Force.

Gumede died at the scene at the Durban North house. The man was airlifted to Durban's St Augustine hospital, where, said Netcare 911 spokesperson Chris Botha, he was in a critical condition.

There were three small children in the house at the time of the shooting.

A murder docket had been opened, said Read.
