A 73-year-old Pakistani American man, Ali Zafar, was Arrested After 3 Killed in California Apartment Shooting

Ali Zafar, a 73-year-old Pakistani American man was suspected of fatally shooting three family members and critically wounding another over a longstanding financial dispute, authorities in the Southern California city of Fontana said Jan. 4.
Ali Zafar, an uncle of the family, was arrested on suspicion of homicide shortly after the shootings inside an apartment in Fontana, Police Sgt. Kevin Goltara said.
When officers entered the apartment they found two women and one man dead from gunshot wounds. Another victim only described as male was taken to a hospital in critical condition.
The victims and suspect are all related and the killings stemmed from a family dispute over money, Goltara said.
Police did not confirm the shooter was the wounded man’s uncle but did say the victims and gunman are related.
Zafar had arrived at the apartment only the night before and was visiting, police said.
“It looks like the family was planning a trip for (Jan. 4),” Goltara said in the Sun report.
At some point, Zafar allegedly began firing at those in the apartment, most of whom were sleeping, officials said.
It wasn’t clear if Zafar brought the firearm with him or if he allegedly used a gun already at the location, Goltara said.
It wasn't immediately known if Zafar has an attorney.
Gunfire was reported shortly before 3 a.m. and responding officers confronted a male suspect with a gun walking inside the apartment complex in Fontana, Goltara said. The man complied with orders to drop the gun and was taken into custody, according to police.
Police Sgt. Keith Zagorin told the Sun newspaper that the shootings took place inside a second-floor apartment, and it appears at least one person was shot while in bed.
Another woman in the home managed to flee the apartment unharmed, police said.
Officials said the two-bedroom apartment had a modified living room where people slept. It's unclear how many people lived in the unit.
