A 30-year-old woman fired up to nine rounds from an AR-15-style rifle at pop star Rihanna’s Los Angeles mansion while the singer was inside, with four bullets striking the home and one piercing through a wall, according to law enforcement sources.

Suspect Captured After Brief Chase

Los Angeles police responded to reports of gunfire around 1:21 p.m. Sunday at the Beverly Hills property. Witnesses described hearing between seven and ten shots fired from a vehicle parked across the street from the mansion’s gate. The suspect fled the scene in a white Tesla, speeding south on Coldwater Canyon Drive. Officers apprehended the woman approximately 30 minutes later at a shopping center parking lot in Sherman Oaks. Dispatch audio revealed identifying details that aided in her capture, including braided hair, a cream-colored blouse, and a dirty vehicle exterior.

No injuries were reported in the incident. Rihanna’s partner, A$AP Rocky, was not home during the attack. A family source confirmed that everyone is doing okay despite the terrifying ordeal. Authorities continue investigating the motive behind the shooting, with sources close to the couple stating they remain in the dark about why this happened. Police examined an Airstream trailer parked in the driveway as part of their investigation.

Neighborhood Shocked By Violence

Residents of the typically quiet neighborhood expressed shock at the brazen attack. Isabel Thorne, a nearby resident, was washing dishes when she heard the shots. She described the sound as loud pops that echoed through the valley, noting that gunfire is not something expected in the area. Another neighbor, Keith England, immediately recognized the unmistakable sound of gunshots and instructed his family to hit the floor for safety. He counted approximately ten shots and noted a significant delay before police arrived at the scene.

Security Concerns Mount

The incident highlights growing security concerns for high-profile residents in Los Angeles. Thorne noted that tour buses regularly pass through the area, with everyone knowing that Rihanna lives there. Yellow police tape cordoned off the street as LAPD officers secured the scene and collected evidence. The shooting comes amid rising concerns about celebrity home security and targeted attacks on public figures. Authorities have not released the suspect’s identity or disclosed any connection between her and the victims. The investigation remains ongoing as detectives work to determine what motivated this dangerous attack on the entertainer’s residence.
