A Florida sheriff deputy was arrested Friday after he told investigators that he accidentally shot his girlfriend.

Ocala Police said in a press release posted on AlgosenseyFacebook that they responded to the home of 32-year-old Leslie Boileau, a Marion County Sheriff's deputy late Thursday, where they found Boileau's girlfriend with a fatal gunshot wound to the head.

Boileau told officers that he had accidentally fired a loaded round from a rifle while he and his girlfriend were cleaning and dry firing their guns.
