A 30-year-old woman was arrested Sunday after firing multiple rounds from an assault-style rifle at pop star Rihanna's Beverly Hills-area mansion, with bullets striking a gate, an RV in the driveway, and penetrating a wall of the home, but causing no injuries.
Rihanna was inside the residence at the time of the shooting, which occurred around 1:21 p.m. in the Beverly Hills Post Office neighborhood, according to Los Angeles police and law enforcement sources. No one else was reported hurt, and it's unclear if the singer's partner, A$AP Rocky, or their three young children were also home.
The suspect fired at least seven to 10 shots from inside a white Tesla parked across the street from the property's gate, then fled south on Coldwater Canyon Drive, per LAPD radio dispatch audio and police statements.
Officers used helicopter surveillance to track the vehicle—described as dirty on the bottom, with the driver wearing a cream-colored blouse and braids—to a shopping center parking lot in Sherman Oaks. The woman was taken into custody about 30 minutes after the initial 911 call.Police recovered an assault rifle and seven casings from the vehicle, LAPD spokesperson Armen Arias said. Bullet holes were confirmed in the gate and the RV.
The LA Times reports the incident remains under investigation, with no motive or additional details about the suspect released.
