Good morning, Evansville.

Gibson County authorities said that 77-year-old Patrick Waite turned himself in after he shot his wife, 61-year-old Alma Waite, her 81-year-old mother, and her 39-year-old son on May 29 in Haubstadt—his other son suffered serious gunshot wounds.

Authorities confirmed that three victims—61-year-old Alma Waite, 39-year-old Fernando Tapia Ramirez Sr. and 81-year-old Gloria Garcia Tapia—were killed in a shooting near Haubstadt last week when 77-year-old Patrick Waite allegedly shot them after calling 911 and surrendering, while a fourth person survives in hospital.

Patrick J. Waite, 77, from Haubstadt was charged on Monday with three counts of murder and one count of attempted murder after he confessed on Thursday to shooting his wife, his son-in-law, and his mother-in-law during a dispute over home ownership, and he critically injured another family member when he called 911 to surrender.
