Rihanna’s Home Targeted by Shooting; Woman Arrested
Rihanna‘s Beverly Hills home was the target of a shooting on Sunday, according to the Los Angeles Times.
A law enforcement source told the L.A. Times that the pop star and entrepreneur was inside the home at the time of the shooting, which was reported at 1:15 p.m. PT on Sunday. A woman fired several shots at the house from her white Tesla across from the property’s gate, the L.A. Times reported, with one round penetrating its wall. Bullet holes were also found in the gate to Rihanna’s home and an RV that was parked outside.
There were no injuries, Los Angeles Police Department spokesperson Sgt. Jonathan de Vera said, and a 30-year-old female suspect was taken into custody. The suspect has not yet been publicly identified and the motive for the shooting is under investigation.
After the incident was reported, police in a helicopter located the white Tesla, which had fled south on Coldwater Canyon Drive. Police followed the vehicle to a shopping center in Sherman Oaks, where the suspect was arrested 30 minutes after the 911 call was placed. LAPD spokesperson Armen Arias told the Times that when police searched the woman’s vehicle, they found “an assault rifle and seven casings.”
Rihanna lives in the Beverly Hills home with her partner, rapper A$AP Rocky, and their three children RZA, Riot and Rocki, who was born just over five months ago. It is not clear if anyone else was home at the time of the shooting.
Representatives for Rihanna did not immediately respond to Variety‘s request for comment.
