Butler police charged a city man with pointing a shotgun at a woman and firing it after she pushed the barrel away. Police also charged the man’s son with threatening to shoot three men Sunday, Oct. 26, at Father Marinaro Park. No injuries were reported.

Michael J. Miranda, 42, is facing a felony count of attempted homicide and three counts of aggravated assault, and a misdemeanor count of reckless endangerment. He is being held in the Butler County Prison in lieu of $250,000 bail.

Joseph A. Miranda, 18, was charged with four felony counts of aggravated assault and one misdemeanor count of reckless endangerment. He is in the county jail in lieu of $100,000 bail. Police said he also was seen carrying a large knife during the confrontation.

Chief Bob O’Neill said the incident took place following a minor vehicle crash.

One party involved in the crash left the area, but an alleged altercation occurred between the two remaining parties, he said.

“The investigation is still underway regarding the totality of the circumstances, but two males were taken into custody for the actions regarding the shotgun,” O’Neill said in a statement. “Officers made these arrests at their residence without incident and with the assistance of the Butler Township Police Department. The knife and firearm were recovered.”

He said the department is aware of the numerous social media posts and videos associated with the event.

Police said they were dispatched to Kaufman Drive around 6:25 p.m. after multiple people called 911 and reported an attempted carjacking and shots fired. Another caller told 911 dispatchers that he was at a Zeigler Avenue address and a shotgun was involved in the incident, according to an affidavit.

A contingent of officers arrived at the park, spoke with a woman and three men and recovered a fired 12 gauge buckshot shells from a parking lot near the park. The woman recorded the alleged confrontation with the Mirandas on her cellphone, according to the affidavit.

Other officers went to the Zeigler Avenue residence and found Michael Miranda on the phone with 911 inside a red sport utility vehicle with heavy rear end damage. As he was being taken into custody, Joseph Miranda walked out of the home and also was taken into custody, according to the affidavit.

Michael Miranda led officers to a 12 gauge Remington shotgun in a second-floor bedroom behind a bed. The gun was loaded with one buckshot shell, according to the affidavit.

Police said they learned Michael Miranda stole the key to a pickup truck owned by one of the three men, and the key was found in Michael Miranda’s vehicle, according to the affidavit.

The video recorded by the woman shows the Mirandas walking from their vehicle toward her and the three men. Joseph Miranda is seen carrying a large knife in his left hand. The knife was later recovered on the sidewalk in front of the Zeigler Avenue home, according to the affidavit.

The video shows the Mirandas speaking with the woman and three men, who were not armed. Michael Miranda is seen walking back to his vehicle, removing a shotgun from the back seat and aiming it in the direction of the four alleged victims, according to the affidavit.

Michael Miranda gets within arms reach of the woman with the gun pointed at her head and chest area with his index finger on the trigger. As she pushed the barrel away, Michael Miranda pulls the trigger firing a shot when the muzzle was just far enough away from her to miss her, according to the affidavit.

He chambered another shell and threatened to kill her before he walked away and placed the gun on the ground near his vehicle. Joseph Miranda then walks to the gun, drops his knife, picks up the gun and walks toward the three men shouting “I will shoot you” multiple times, according to the affidavit.

The three men ran away and the Mirandas got back in their vehicle with the gun and knife and drove home, police said.

Their preliminary hearings are schedule for 9:30 a.m. Nov. 10 before District Judge William Fullteron.
