A three-month-old baby and an 11-year-old girl have been killed in a shooting incident at their home in Vanderbijlpark in Gauteng.

ER24's Ross Campbell says paramedics found the children's 30-year-old mother on a bed in a room with her infant on Friday.

He says she had sustained a gunshot wound to the chest.

The 11-year-old was found on another bed in the same room.

Campbell says a 5-year-old girl, who was hiding under blankets, was found unharmed.

He says the mother was rushed to hospital in a critical condition.

The circumstances surrounding the incident are unknown and police are investigating cases of murder and attempted murder.

No arrests have yet been made.
