DAMN! A MAN SHOOTS HIS GIRLFRIEND IN THE HEAD THEN KILLS HIMSELF IN A NEW YEARS EVE ARGUEMENT!

A lovers' quarrel turned deadly New Year's Eve when a troubled Brooklyn man shot his girlfriend in the head and then turned the revolver on himself, police said.
Fat Wah, 43, a construction worker from Malaysia, and his 41-year-old girlfriend from the same country had tangled love lives and a turbulent three-year relationship, Wah's roommate said.

When the two broke up yet again shortly after 9 p.m., Wah opened fire in his two-bedroom apartment on Sands St. in Vinegar Hill, police and the roommate said.

"They were always fighting. They were always breaking up," said the shaken roommate, Andy Goh, 49. "They were very unhappy."

Goh said he was on his way with family to the New Year's celebration in Times Square when he heard the tragic news and turned around, his night ruined.

"We are all shook up," Goh said as cops analyzed the scene of the bloody murder-suicide in the sixth-floor apartment.

Wah and his girlfriend, whose first name is Ling, were each married to spouses who still live in Malaysia, Goh said. Each had four children, who also live in Malaysia.

Wah, who was nicknamed "Fat Guy" because of his weight, had been in the United States about a year. His girlfriend worked as a hairwasher at a Chinatown salon, but had recently lost her job, Goh said. Goh described the couple's fight-filled relationship in this way: "He would just bring her here to stay over and then send her away."

Before Thursday night, Wah had tried to kill himself three separate times, most recently a few months ago, Goh said.

After Wah killed his girlfriend, he shot himself in the head, police said. Cops did not immediately name Wah's girlfriend, and it was unclear where she lived.

"Before it was always pills," Goh said of Wah's previous suicide attempts.

"He always told his friends he wanted to die."
