ORLANDO, Fla. -- An Orange County man is in jail, accused of trying to shoot his roommate with an AK-47. Their fight started after an argument over a beer and a plate of spaghetti.
Investigators say David Fung-Cap just wanted a beer.
Police display the AK-47 used in the shooting.
"A beer. A beer. You know what, he was like, you didn't get me my beer. I was like, what are you talking about?" explained roommate Terah Mills.
Mills wanted some of Fung-Cap's spaghetti, and when neither would help the other, things got ugly. Fung-Cap went for his AK-47 and opened fire.
Not weird enough?

"Four times he shot at me. If it's my time to go, it's my time to go," Mills said.
Mills told Channel 9 he managed to wrestle the assault weapon away from his crazed roommate and left the apartment to get help from sheriff's deputies, who were already arriving. But then Mills accidentally fired another shot. The deputies thought he was aiming at them.
No one can explain how, out of the five high-powered rounds fired in a densely populated apartment complex, not one person was hurt.
"I want my grandparents and parents to know that I love them and I would like a shirt and a cigarette and some shoes please," Fung-Cap said while being taken into custody.
Investigators determined Mills was the victim. Now he'll keep the apartment, the beer and the food and, in the future, he said, he'll choose his roommates more carefully.
"This guy's 25 years old. He's a grown man, just like me," Mills said.
Deputies said there was nothing illegal about the AK-47, except for the fact that it was fired. Now it's the property of the Orange County Sheriff's Office
