Metro Homicide commander Capt. Kip Hart says officers were called to the residence where they found the men who had been shot.
Hart says Walton pulled a gun out during a party before being told to leave. Investigators say others tried to restrain Walton, but he was still able to fire several shots.
Walton was injured and taken to the hospital.
It’s unclear if Walton has an attorney.
