Los Angeles police have arrested a 35-year-old woman suspected of firing multiple gunshots at superstar singer Rihanna's home in Beverly Hills on Sunday. The incident occurred around 1:15 PM local time, with no injuries reported, but bullet holes were found in the mansion's front gate.
The suspect was taken into custody after fleeing the scene, and an AR-15-style assault rifle was recovered. She has been booked on suspicion of attempted murder and is being held on a bail of $10 million (approximately €8.81 million). Authorities are investigating the motive and any potential connection to Rihanna.
According to police reports, the shots were fired from a white Tesla vehicle parked across the street. An audio recording obtained by KABC-TV captured a police dispatcher stating, "Shooting just occurred. Ten gunshots fired from the vehicle."
It remains unclear whether Rihanna was at home during the attack. The singer shares the residence with rapper A$AP Rocky and their three children. The investigation is ongoing to determine the full circumstances behind the incident.
This event highlights ongoing security concerns in affluent areas like Beverly Hills, raising public alarm over such targeted violence. Police continue to probe the suspect's background and intentions as part of their inquiry.
