Redlands Police are investigating a drive-by shooting that took place early Sunday morning in the 1700 block of Alta Street.

No one was injured in the early-morning incident Sunday, Feb. 24.

At about 4:30 a.m., police received a report of shots fired in an alley behind the 1700 block of Alta Street. The neighbor reported hearing several gunshots and the sound of a car speeding away. Officers responded to the alley but were unable to locate any evidence of a shooting.

Shortly before 11 a.m., another resident on Alta reported that she had just returned home to find several bullet holes in her house. Police responded and recovered several slugs from a handgun in the front portion of the house, facing Alta Street.

Investigators believe the damage to the house is related to the original report of gunshots in the nearby alley.

Investigators believe the shots were fired from a moving vehicle traveling southbound on Alta Street. The resident was not home at the time of the shooting. Several occupants in a different area of the house said they did not hear the gunshots and were not aware of the shooting at the time.

Anyone with information on the shooting or a description of the vehicle is asked to contact Redlands Police Dispatch at (909) 798-7681.
