SACRAMENTO Police say a Contra Costa County Sheriff's deputy was arrested for firing a gun inside a house party in Sacramento.
Sacramento Police Department spokesman Matthew McPhail said Sunday 23-year-old Kyle Rowland, of Sacramento, was charged with attempted murder after he allegedly fired a gun Friday after a confrontation with party-goers. No one was injured in the shooting.
McPhail says Rowland left the party but returned with a gun. Two firearms were recovered from the scene.
He says that when police arrived Rowland was being held by several party-goers. A booking photo shows Roland with a bloody right eye.

(3,569 posts)Damn, this is very upsetting to the blues community in the Sacramento area. I've known Kyle for about ten years. I kind of cringed over his desire to be a cop. Just graduated the academy in summer. Pretty much a very out of character moment according to everyone that knows him.
Alcohol. Guns. 23 year olds.

(3,569 posts)He went and got the guns. Probably pissed at that. Dumb move, he had a long good career ahead of himself, great mentors, and was leading a Sacramento blues resurgence with many young exciting players ge5ing in because they saw Kyle actually making it.
