The incident was first reported just before 4:00 p.m. on Camino Coras, just east of Calhoun Street.
Deputies were called out for reports of gunfire in the area. Deputies located the residence and a search warrant was authored and served with the assistance of the Coachella Community Action Team and Riverside County Sheriff’s K-9 Team.
