Band member detained after downtown shooting

Sacramento Police detain a member of a music band after a shooting at the outdoor patio of The Broiler restaurant on K and 12th streets.

Police say a pair of men walking down K Street started a fight with people on the patio of The Broiler restaurant at 6:51 p.m. Saturday night.

The altercation spread and a waiter even got involved, according to officers.

That's when a member of the band pulled a gun and shot one of the two men fighting, hitting him in the upper body.

That victim was taken to the hospital where he is expected to survive.

Police aren't sure if they're even going to charge the band member who fired the shots, according to police spokesman Sgt. Norm Leong, since witnesses say the shooting was self-defense
