ROWLAND HEIGHTS, Calif. — A man shot and killed his wife and two others in his home on New Year's Eve before his son wrestled the gun away and fatally shot him in a chain of events apparently set off by a dispute over a washing machine, authorities said Friday.

The two other victims killed were the son's 48-year-old girlfriend, who also lived at the house in Rowland Heights, and a 27-year-old man who was visiting, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said.

The 54-year-old father was a heavy drinker with a large gun collection, and authorities had made dozens of previous trips to the home, the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department said.

Investigators were talking to surviving witnesses to figure out what led the father to pull out a semiautomatic pistol and open fire.

"It looks like it was a dispute between the dad and the son's girlfriend, probably over using the washing machine," Sheriff's Lt. John Corina told the San Gabriel Valley Tribune. "For some reason, this set the dad off."

The son, 33-year-old Christopher Morey, eventually recovered the gun from his father and shot him, authorities said. Morey is being held on suspicion of murder on $1 million bail, authorities said.

Deputies reached by phone did not know whether he has an attorney who could comment. Morey and his girlfriend were living in the home with the 54-year-old mother, who had recently had a stroke.

"They had been taking care of her," Corina said. "She was in a hospital bed there in the middle of the living room."

Authorities have not released the name of any victims, but the mother and brother of the 27-year-old were outside the home Friday and told the Tribune his name was Ernesto Calzadilla and he has an 8-month-old daughter.

The mother, Maria Cruz, said the family was nice to his son and he liked being at the house. But the brother, Wilfred Calzadilla, said Ernesto had generally stopped going to the house because of worries about the father, making an exception on New Year's Eve.

"Mixing alcohol and guns never ends good," Wilfred Calzadilla said.

Over a washing machine?

 

Further investigation will prove that the argument was over ownership of the red sock found in the washing machine loaded with a week's worth of wife beaters.

 

¡Ay, caramba!

 

the mother had a stroke at 54...hmmm anyone else find that odd?
cops had been there "dozens of times"?...
I'm thinking the endgame here was written years ago..
like with anna nicole, everyone knew she was gonna die and nothing was done to prevent it.
maybe nothing could have

 

If that were true why would we have one stop shopping?

Sounds like trump just lost some supporters

 

That's all you can come up with?

 

That has to be one of the worst written news articles I've ever read.

 

I'm surprised he comes up with anything.

 

Heavy drinker Big gun collection sounds familiar

 

Fucken Tide!

 

It's Sunday numbnuts. I only bust out the A material on weekdays.

 

Yes, when it comes to homicides here in L.A., Trump supporters are definitely our biggest problem.
