San Bernardino Shooting Today: Gunfire and Screams at Apartment Lead to Four Arrests — Firearm Recovered, Two Suspects Had No-Bail Warrants
Updated: April 22, 2026
A frightening scene at a San Bernardino apartment complex ended with four arrests on Wednesday, April 22, 2026, after a caller reported hearing a gunshot followed by screams coming from inside one of the units, according to the San Bernardino Police Department. Officers were dispatched to the complex immediately following the 911 call and responded to find a tense and potentially dangerous situation requiring a careful and coordinated approach by law enforcement.
Upon arrival, officers secured the scene and conducted a thorough investigation of the apartment unit in question. During their search, investigators located a firearm inside the unit, providing physical evidence directly linked to the gunfire that had been reported by the caller. The discovery of the weapon, combined with the reports of screaming and a gunshot, formed the basis for the arrests that followed as officers worked to determine the circumstances of the incident and the roles of those present inside the apartment.
All four individuals found at the scene were taken into custody in connection with the shooting, police said. The identities of the four suspects were not released by the San Bernardino Police Department at this time. However, during the course of the investigation, officers discovered that two of the four individuals had outstanding no-bail warrants, meaning they were already wanted by law enforcement prior to Wednesday’s incident. The presence of the illegal firearm, combined with the outstanding warrants, ensured all four were arrested and face additional charges related to Wednesday’s events.
The San Bernardino Police Department issued a statement praising its officers for the manner in which they handled the situation. The department commended the responding officers for “safely resolving a potentially dangerous situation and ensuring the safety of the community.” No injuries were reported in connection with the incident, and authorities confirmed the situation was fully under control following the arrests.
San Bernardino has faced ongoing challenges with gun violence across its neighborhoods and apartment complexes, and Wednesday’s swift response and multiple arrests was viewed by police as a positive outcome in what could have escalated into a far more serious situation. The discovery of two suspects with outstanding no-bail warrants also highlights the broader issue of repeat offenders and individuals with existing criminal histories continuing to pose risks to community safety.
The investigation into the full circumstances of Wednesday’s shooting remains ongoing. Authorities have not released additional details about what triggered the gunfire or the relationship between the four individuals involved.
