Police Arrest Woman After Gunshots Fired at Rihanna’s Beverly Hills Home
Police in Los Angeles confirmed on Sunday that they had arrested a female suspect after she allegedly fired multiple gunshots into the home of superstar singer Rihanna�, raising serious safety concerns for the celebrity and her family. Authorities told local news outlets that the 35-year-old woman was taken into custody on suspicion of attempted murder, and a weapon used in the shooting was recovered at the scene. Reports indicate that the firearm involved was an AR-15-style assault rifle, a powerful weapon capable of causing significant harm, though fortunately no injuries were reported during the incident.
According to police, officers responded to calls about gunfire at around 1:15 pm local time (2000 GMT) on Sunday in the affluent Beverly Hills neighborhood where the singer resides. Media reports showed visible bullet holes in the front gate of the mansion, highlighting the severity of the attack. Witnesses and authorities said the shots were fired toward the house in broad daylight by a suspect who was reportedly driving a white Tesla, parked across the street during the shooting.
