According to TMZ, the 67-year-old man from Wisconsin reportedly shot at his TV because he was so upset by Bristol's performance on DWTS.
Steven Cowan, according to local authorities, told officers he believes Bristol is not a good dancer and is only on the show because her mother Sarah Palin is famous.
The man reportedly became so enraged on Monday that he fired at his TV, according to officials, and then aimed at his wife, but she was able to escape the house.
