Police said the shooting happened after an altercation between at least two people inside an event. Multiple gunshots were exchanged and the shooting spilled outside and into the parking lot, police said.
Police said the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department was called to assist after officers encountered a “large hostile crowd” when they arrived at the location.
Two people were arrested at the scene — one in connection with a stolen firearm and the other on outstanding warrants, police said. No arrests were made in the shooting itself.
NBC Los Angeles reported that the shooting happened at a hookah lounge. Police said the special event at the lounge was unpermitted.
