US EditionPolice Investigate Drive-by Attack at Redlands Home Decorated for Hanukkah
Redlands police investigate a drive-by shooting with 20 rounds fired at a Hanukkah-decorated home; no injuries reported and weapon likely an airsoft gun, officials said.
- On Friday Dec. 12, homeowner Jonpaul Sione Yohanan Cohen posted video showing a drive-by attack that discharged about 20 rounds at his Redlands home decorated for Hanukkah.
- Police say they believe the family was targeted because of Hanukkah decorations and that the vehicle occupants shouted an antisemitic slur after accosting the homeowner, quoting `free Palestine *n-word*`.
- Investigators found no shell casings and home video showed no muzzle flash, leading the Redlands Police Department to conclude the projectile was likely from an airsoft handgun, and police dispatched five cruisers and a helicopter to the 1300 block of Magnolia Avenue.
- No one in the family was hurt, and officials reported no injuries or damage; Mayor Mario Saucedo and ADL Los Angeles condemned the attack and urged tips to Redlands Police Dispatch at 909-798-7681.
- Amid heightened tensions as Hanukkah begins, the Bondi Beach attack that killed 16 led the Riverside Police Department to increase patrols around Jewish facilities and Hanukkah events Sunday.
