REDLANDS, Calif. — Authorities are investigating a reported shooting that occurred on the 900 block of Orange Street, near the Econo Wash Laundry, late Saturday evening. The incident, which rattled nearby residents and business patrons, left one man injured.
The Incident
According to early reports, Redlands Police Department officers responded after multiple 911 calls came in from residents who said they heard gunfire in the area. Upon arrival, officers discovered a male victim suffering from a gunshot wound to the leg.
The victim was quickly treated at the scene by emergency responders before being transported to a local hospital for further medical attention. His injuries are described as serious but not life-threatening.
Witness Accounts
Several nearby residents described hearing multiple gunshots, followed by shouting. Some business owners in the vicinity reported that patrons inside the laundromat and surrounding shops immediately ducked for cover as the shots rang out.
“I was folding clothes when I heard two loud pops,” said one witness who was inside the Econo Wash at the time. “People started yelling and running outside. It was chaos.”

The Redlands Police Department emphasized that while the investigation is in its early stages, they do not believe there is an ongoing threat to the wider community. Increased patrols have been dispatched to the Northside neighborhood as a precaution.
