On July 3, 2024, the Bureau of Criminal Investigation out of SP Amity arrested Gregory S. Miller, 54 of Penndel, PA for Attempted Murder 2nd degree, Assault 1st degree, Reckless Endangerment 1st degree, Criminal Possession of a Weapon 2nd degree (two counts), Criminal Possession of a Weapon 3rd and Criminal Use of a Weapon 1st degree.
On July 3, 2024 at approximately 9:45 P.M., Troopers out of SP Amity responded to Smith Hollow Rd in the town of Wellsville for a shooting involving injury. Investigation determined that after several hours of consuming alcohol, Miller had a verbal argument with the 48-year-old male victim. Miller then went to his vehicle, a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado, and returned with a Springfield Armory .45 ACP. Miller then discharged the firearm several times at the victim, striking him one time in the lower left leg. Miller was disarmed and held down by the others at the party until Troopers arrived on scene and took Miller into custody. The victim was originally taken to Jones Memorial Hospital in Wellsville, NY for the non life-threatening injury to his leg. He was later transferred to Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester for further treatment.
Miller was transported to SP Amity and processed.
Miller was transported to Allegany County Jail for a CAP arraignment.
The NYSP Forensic Identification Unit, Bureau of Criminal Investigation and the Allegany County District Attorney’s Office assisted in this investigation.
