Suspect barricaded in Sacramento County home detained after shooting down drone, deputies say

A suspect barricaded in a Sacramento County home was detained after he shot down a drone on Wednesday, the sheriff's office said. 

The incident began around 8 a.m. when deputies said they responded to the 2000 block of Kincade Way in the Arden-Arcade area for reports that two neighbors got into an argument. 

Deputies said weeks earlier, during a separate argument, one neighbor pointed a gun at the other neighbor. Deputies investigated the incident and the victim didn't pursue charges. 

During Wednesday's disturbance, the suspect refused to come out of his home. At one point, deputies said he exited the home briefly while holding a rifle. He then reentered the home and refused to come out. 

Around noon, deputies said the suspect fired several shots when he shot down one of their drones. Some rounds struck neighboring homes, including a window across the street, deputies said. 

The suspect then surrendered and was detained. Deputies said they did not return fire. 

The suspect, who has not been identified at this time, was taken to a hospital as a precaution before he's booked into jail, deputies said. 

No injuries were reported.
