Dayne Victor Miller, 44, was arrested at his home on Wednesday after admitting to police that he was shooting at two of his adult roommates through a closed bedroom door. Miller claimed he opened fire after discovering one of his daughters naked in her room. The roommate told police that he accidentally fell asleep while intoxicated in the girl’s room. After Miller’s daughter informed her father that the naked male victim had entered her bedroom while she was sleeping, another roommate, their spouse, informed them that they were in the wrong room.
According to the New York Post, Miller reportedly shouted, “I’ll kill you!” before firing three to four gunshots outside the couple’s closed bedroom door. Miller was charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and one count of shooting into an occupied dwelling,

I can’t condone such action, but I understand.

How long had this “great dad” have these roommates he shot at? The daughter didn’t recognize the guy?
Who blindly fires through a closed door?
Story seems a bit suspicious to me.— visoredavenger (@visoredavenger) March 10, 2023
This situation was easily avoidable by not having room mates in the first place.
I get the anger, but it was an easily avoidable situation all the same.

How do you get the anger? How do you possibly get so mad at someone for walking into the wrong room (when the room occupant isn’t even home) that you try to murder them?

A similar situation happened in New York City when a man stabbed his roommate for blasting loud music.
Last year, a Long Island man reportedly stabbed his roommate in the chest during an argument regarding loud music. Bellmore police said Frank Ligouri,61, confronted his 31-year-old roommate about the loud music, but the argument intensified, and Ligouri allegedly grabbed a knife and stabbed the roommate.
The roommate ran to a nearby 7-Eleven to find help, and officers reported to the scene; Ligouri was arrested on charges of assault in the second degree, assault in the third degree, and criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree, as reported by PIX 11. Emergency medics took the victim to a nearby hospital for treatment, but the severity of his injuries was not disclosed.
