Man Kills His Roommate After An Argument About How To Prepare Pork Chops

Thomas Hahn, a 55-year-old Florida man, was jailed Tuesday after he allegedly shot his roommate to death during an argument over how to prepare pork chops.

According to Holly Hill Police, officers were dispatched to a Volusia County residence Tuesday night after another roommate called 911 to report the shooting.

Arriving officers found the victim, identified as 35-year-old Robert Gray, laying dead on the floor after he had been shot twice in the head.

During questioning, Hahn reportedly confessed to shooting his roommate, but insisted that he shot the victim in self defense. He went on to say that he and his roommate argued often and that many of their arguments became physical.

"I didn't want to be attacked anymore," Hahn told officers.

On the night in question, Hahn stated that he was cooking pork chops when Gray came home intoxicated and criticized the way he was preparing them. That's when Hahn grabbed a rifle and fired three rounds at the victim. Two rounds struck the victim in the head, killing him instantly, according to the arrest report.

Hahn was booked into the Volusia County Jail and charged with second-degree murder.
