An argument over taking out the trash preceded a double homicide in Cumberland County last month, according to testimony at the suspected gunman’s preliminary hearing this week.
An East Pennsboro police officer testified Thursday that someone called 911 and summoned police to John Miller’s home in the first block of Greenmont Drive at 6:39 p.m. April 10 on a domestic dispute. Officers arrived at 6:45 p.m. and talked to residents, including Miller, 78, who complained his daughter would not take out the trash and he wanted to kick her out of the house.
