Several people were hit with non-lethal rounds after at least four LGBTQ bars were shot at with a pellet gun early Saturday morning.
According to San Diego Police, they received reports of a pellet gun being fired out of a vehicle just after 1 a.m. Saturday morning. Witnesses told CBS 8 it appeared to be a BMW, but police have not released an official suspect or vehicle description.
Eddie Reynoso is a host at Rich’s. He was standing outside and turned when he heard someone yelling expletives at the patrons outside the bar. Reynoso saw what he believed to be an AK-47 and hear myriad rounds being shot off.
He tried to crouch but it was too late.
“I get hit directly in the eye,” he said. ” I feel something kinda like explode almost like something popped. And by then I was already falling to the ground. In my mind, I thought I just got shot through the eye and my eye just flew out.”
He said it wasn’t the first time Rich has been the target of a crime like this. And he’s confident it won’t be the last.
Approved – Sully
