Palm Springs has weathered the pandemic, and the breaks are coming off
Despite Palm Springs’ tourist dependency, the desert city is emerging from the pandemic with all of its legendary gay resorts intact. All of the city’s gay bars have also survived, and the three gay bars and gay resort in neighboring Cathedral City have also managed to stay afloat despite California’s restrictive closures. Palm Springs has long been one of the gayest cities in the world, and LGBT visitor loyalty combined with the fact the city is within easy driving distance from Los Angeles has been enough of a lifeline to keep the city’s small LGBT businesses from going under.
Palm Springs police detained two men as part of an investigation into a drive-by shooting Thursday morning.
About 10 a.m., police received a call of a shooting near Sunny Dunes Road and Calle Santa Cruz. Officers “flooded the area” and found the men in a Chevrolet Monte Carlo at Sunny Dunes and Williams Road about 10:15 a.m., Sgt Mike Casavan said.
A handgun was recovered and police are investigating if a shot was fired in the air or at a building, he said.
No injuries were reported.
All police activity was confined to the area of Sunny Dunes and Williams and the scene was cleared just after 11 a.m.
