Shots fired at Rihanna’s Los Angeles home; woman with AR-15-style rifle arrested

Pop star Rihanna was at home when a woman allegedly opened fire at her Los Angeles residence with an AR-15-style rifle on Sunday afternoon, but no one was injured, officials said.

According to NBC News, police reported that several rounds, or fragments from them, struck parts of the property during the incident. The suspected shooter, a woman, was later taken into custody.




Officials have not yet released her name. LAPD Capt. Mike Bland said in a statement that additional details about the suspect, including the formal booking allegations, would be made public on Monday.

The shooting was reported around 1:15 p.m. at the home Rihanna shares with rapper A$AP Rocky, located just outside Beverly Hills in Los Angeles. Police said it was unclear whether A$AP Rocky or the couple’s children were present at the time of the incident.

Investigators said the woman drove up to the property and began firing with what officers described as an AR-15-style rifle. Authorities have not yet disclosed a possible motive for the attack.

Rihanna’s residence is situated in Beverly Crest, an upscale neighborhood roughly 20 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles. Police said the investigation into the shooting remains ongoing.
