Patrick Waite (77) calmly called police moments after he allegedly shot his wife, mother-in-law, and two stepsons " killing three of them " to report the horrific crime. Waite is accused of methodically shooting his wife Alma (61) and her family, going from room to room to blast each victim in the Haubstadt Indiana home they shared. He is facing several murder charges. After he opened fire on all four victims, Waite called 911 to explain what he had done, where he would be when officers arrived, and where investigators could find the .45-caliber Smith & Wesson he used.
