   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."   
      
   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 if 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.
