Jonathan David McCurdy, 35, was arrested by deputies after the shooting in the 2200 block of Silverado Trail, according to Sheriff’s spokesman Henry Wofford. He was taken to Napa County Jail to investigate attempted murder, assault on a law enforcement officer, burglary and gun crimes, and was being held without bond on Thursday.

Neighbors saw McCurdy inside the home, which did not belong to him, and contacted law enforcement around 5:30 p.m., Wofford said.

When sheriff’s deputies arrived, McCurdy disobeyed their orders and then two shots were fired from inside the house in the direction of the deputies, according to Wofford. Deputies then arrested McCurdy and found a gun inside the house, Wofford said.
