Woman arrested for alleged gunfire, attempted murder in Palm Springs

PALM SPRINGS (KESQ) - A 25-year-old woman was arrested today after a violent altercation in Palm Springs in which she allegedly fired a gun.   

The Cathedral City resident was booked on suspicion of attempted murder, according to the Palm Springs Police Department.   

Officers responded to reports of a physical "violent altercation" involving numerous women shortly before 3 a.m. Sunday in the 300 block of South Palm Canyon Drive.   

Police said the altercation occurred "after bar closing hours,'' when the suspect allegedly brandished a firearm, discharged it into the air and stuck another person with the weapon.   

Everyone fled the scene once a witness intervened.   

Authorities identified the 25-year-old as the sole suspect and was arrested Thursday at her place of employment without incident.
