Washing Machine Dispute Led to Quadruple Homicide: Officials
by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
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 lives 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 to the father pulling out a semi-automatic pistol and opening 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."
