SUMMARY: On Thursday, March 3, 2022, deputies from the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department Fontana Station responded to multiple 9-1-1 calls involving a shooting. When deputies arrived, residents in the area advised deputies a shooting had occurred at the Bloomington Hydro in the parking lot. Deputies secured the area and conducted a safety sweep in an effort to locate gun shot victims and witnesses.
Subjects inside the Bloomington Hydro barricaded themselves by locking the steel doors and refused to cooperate or allow investigators inside. Detectives authored a search warrant for the Bloomington Hydro, which was granted by the on call signing judge to continue the shooting investigation and search the premises.
Several loud PA announcements were made, ordering the subjects inside to step out and surrender. After several announcements were made, the reinforced metal security door opened and multiple subjects began to exit and comply. The interior of the metal commercial building was searched by officers which led to the discovery of additional subjects attempting to hide in the darkness.
During the service of the search warrant, multiple illegal gambling machines and narcotics were also located. At the conclusuion of the investigation, thirteen adults were detained and arrested. They were transported to West Valley Detention Center and booked for a variety of charges.
Anyone with information regarding this incident is urged to contact investigators at the Fontana Sheriff's Station. Callers wishing to remain anonymous are urged to call the We-Tip Hotline at 1-800-78-CRIME (27463) or you may leave information on the We-Tip Hotline at www.wetip.com
