DAYTON — A man accused of a shooting at a veterans hospital said he intended to intimidate former co-workers he believed were having inappropriate relationships with his wife and daughter, according to court documents.

One person was shot in the ankle when Neil Moore’s gun went off in a hospital break room, authorities said.

Moore, 59, of Trotwood, was charged today in Dayton with single counts of assault with a dangerous weapon and use of a deadly weapon during the commission of a violent crime. It was not immediately known whether he had an attorney.

Investigators said Moore entered a room where several people were playing cards and pointed a revolver at them saying something like, “Don’t mess with my family.”

Authorities said one of the card game participants lunged at Moore, knocking his .38-caliber revolver.

The gun went off at least three times, striking another man in the lower leg, investigators said.

Moore then went to an elevator, where he pointed the revolver at another person before fleeing the building, according to court documents.
