Redlands Police Probe Alleged Vehicular Attack Outside California Bar That Injured 4
Redlands police say four people were seriously injured early Sunday when a driver in a 2022 Tesla allegedly circled back after an altercation outside The Underground bar in downtown Redlands, California, and intentionally rammed into bystanders gathered in the street. The car hit four people, then lost control and slammed into a curb before speeding away in a hit‑and‑run, reportedly leaking fluids as it fled. Immediately after the impact, an unidentified person drew a gun and fired multiple rounds, shattering the window of one business and damaging the door of another, though authorities say no one was struck by gunfire. The Redlands Police Department is treating the case as a suspected attempted vehicular homicide and has not announced any arrests in either the vehicle attack or the shooting. Local business owners say similar late‑night disturbances have occurred before in this nightlife strip, which some describe as a place where intoxicated patrons congregate after being kicked out of other bars, underscoring ongoing worries about public safety in the area.
