GREAT FALLS, Virginia (CNN) --

Fairfax County police said Monday they may never know what prompted a man to

kill his mother on Christmas, then drive to another home, where he killed three

others before committing suicide.

Nathan Cheatham died after turning the gun on himself at a

house in Great Falls, police said. Also found dead at the scene were Jeanina Price,

her son Adam and family friend Chris Burrow, according to police.

Cheatham's mother, Sheila, was found dead in the driveway of her home,

where her son also lived, in McLean, said police Maj. Bob Callahan.

Cheatham had a relationship with the Price family, Callahan

said. " He's known the family for several years, " he said.

" We do not know what motivated him to go up there and

do what he did. "

Cheatham fired off at least 50 rounds in the Price house,

and there was evidence he had reloaded more than once, Callahan said.

The holiday shootings shocked the affluent suburban Washington community of Great Falls.

" This is a tragedy and would be on any day, " said

Col. Dave Rohrer, the Fairfax County police chief.

Around 10:25 a.m. Sunday, Fairfax County police officers

responded to a telephone call from the house in Great Falls, Callahan said.

" There was a call from inside the house reporting a

person firing at the house and later inside the house, " he said.
