Police have arrested a female suspect in connection with a shooting outside the Los Angeles-area residence of singer and entrepreneur Rihanna. Authorities say several rounds were fired toward the gated property on Coldwater Canyon Drive on March 8 while Rihanna was inside the home, but no harm or injuries were reported. The suspect, described as a woman in her 30s with braided hair wearing a cream-colored blouse, was taken into custody about 30 minutes later in a shopping center parking lot. Investigators are working to determine the motive for the shooting.
