A 30-year-old woman fired approximately 10 shots at pop singer Rihanna's Beverly Hills mansion from inside a white Tesla on Sunday afternoon, striking the property multiple times and sending a round through a wall of the home. Rihanna was home at the time but was not injured. The suspect was arrested roughly 30 minutes later.
Why it matters
The brazen daylight attack on one of the world's most recognizable entertainers underscores persistent concerns about celebrity security and the ease of access to high-powered weapons. That a round penetrated the wall of an occupied home where young children also reside makes the incident all the more alarming.
The details
The shooting was reported at 1:21 p.m. at the colonial-style mansion Rihanna shares with rapper A$AP Rocky in Beverly Hills' Post Office neighborhood. The suspect, described as a woman with braided hair wearing a cream-colored blouse, fired roughly 10 shots using what police described as an AR-15-style rifle from across the street from the property's gate. One round penetrated a wall of the residence, while NBC News reported four rounds or fragments struck parts of the property overall. The white Tesla then fled south on Coldwater Canyon Drive, but officers tracked the vehicle and arrested the suspect approximately 30 minutes after the initial 911 call.
