A 25-year-old woman was arrested Thursday after a violent altercation in Palm Springs in which she allegedly fired a gun.

Yaniza Regla of Cathedral City 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 Regla 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 Regla as the sole suspect and was arrested Thursday at her place of employment without incident.

Officers recovered the firearm allegedly used in the altercation after a search warrant was served at her residence, police said.

Background information on Regla was not immediately available.

Anyone with additional information was urged to call 760-323-8142.
