A 24-year old man, his father, and his grandfather, are dead, along with a suspected gunman in a brutal shootout in Manhattan. Another woman was wounded. The crime took place in the apartment on the Upper West Side, one of the city's priciest and safest neighborhoods. According to police, the grandfather, 87-year-old Fernando Gonzales, was found shot in a bathroom; the father, Carlos Rodriguez Sr., and son, Carlos Rodriguez Jr., in a bedroom; and the suspected killer, 44-year-old Hector Quinones, fell to his death from the third-floor fire escape. The motive is not yet clear, but police say that they're investigating whether drugs were involved.
