Gunshots fired at Rihanna’s Beverley Hills home - woman arrested and assault rifle casings found at scene
Assault rifle casings have been found outside Rihanna’s Beverley Hills home after shots were fired at the property.
A woman has been taken into custody after gunshots were fired at the home of pop star, Rihanna. Police in Los Angeles said seven shots were fired from a vehicle which parked outside the Beverley Hills property at around 1.15pm on Sunday afternoon (March 8).
The Barbados-born star, famed for hits including Umbrella and We Found Love, was home at the time, according to the Los Angeles Police Department, with a spokesperson confirming to CBS News assault rifle casings were found at the scene. Officers later arrested a woman in her 30s around eight miles from the property.
Real name Robyn Fenty, 38-year-old Rihanna gave birth to her third child last September, a daughter shared with fellow music star, A$AP Rocky. The couple also share two sons, Riot and RZA.
Last year, A$AP Rocky had his own run in with the law when he was found not guilty of firing a gun at a former friend after a trial.
But despite new arrivals and court appearances, Rihanna has continued to build a huge business empire alongside a music career, including a make-up range and lingerie company, with the latest Forbes rich list valuing her at more than $1 billion.
She is yet to comment on the incident, while the suspect remains in police custody.
