LOS ANGELES: A woman alleged to have fired an assault rifle at the luxury Los Angeles home of Rihanna — while the pop superstar was inside — was being held by police on Monday.
Officers in the city said shots were fired towards the mansion in the middle of day on Sunday by a suspect driving a white Tesla, which had stopped across the street.
Aerial footage after the attack showed bullet holes in a gate at the sprawling property, which Rihanna shares with rapper A$AP Rocky and their three children.
The Los Angeles Police Department said Ivanna Lisette Ortiz was arrested at a shopping complex half an hour after the incident.
Captain Mike Bland told reporters the weapon used was an AR-15-style rifle.
Ortiz was booked on suspicion of attempted murder with bail set at US$10.225 million.
Rihanna, one of the world’s most popular pop stars, has not publicly commented on the shooting.
