A Casper man was stable at a hospital Monday after his wife shot him in the chest during an argument at their apartment, police say.

Dana Michelle Miller is charged with three counts of aggravated assault for the Sunday shooting in the couple’s apartment.

Miller, 37, called 911 to report she accidentally shot her 26-year-old husband, Dustin Edward Baer, a police report states. Officers responded to the apartment at 1900 S. Missouri Ave. and found Baer in the kitchen. A Glock 9 mm handgun was next to him.

Medics treated Baer before taking him to the Wyoming Medical Center emergency room. Baer suffered a collapsed lung and was in a medically induced coma Monday, prosecutors said.

In addition to the assault charges, Miller is also charged with possession of a deadly weapon with unlawful intent. In all, she faces up to 35 years in prison.

Prosecutors said Monday at Miller's initial hearing in Natrona County Circuit Court they are still reviewing the case and may file more serious charges. A judge set Miller's bond at $30,000.

Choking back tears, Miller asked for a public defender to represent her.
