A Klamath County man was arrested early Saturday on charges of attempted murder after he allegedly pointed a gun at two men outside a La Pine bar.

John Kyle Gilpin, 64, was arrested at the La Pine Inn shortly after 1:30 a.m. and lodged at the Deschutes County Jail. He is being held on suspicion of attempted murder, unlawful use of a weapon, three counts each of recklessly endangering another and menacing, and driving under the influence of intoxicants.

The Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office said Gilpin had been involved in a dispute at the bar around 1 a.m. He left the bar, and returned about half an hour later carrying a rifle.

Gilpin pointed the rifle at the heads of two men who were trying to talk him in to putting it away. A bar patron subdued and disarmed Gilpin, and deputies arrived to take him in to custody.
