Rihanna's LA area mansion struck by gunfire, woman arrested: Police

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Pop star Rihanna was at her Los Angeles area mansion Sunday when a woman opened fire and shot multiple times at the home, according to police and sources with knowledge of the investigation.

Sources told ABC News Rihanna was at home, but nobody was hurt.

Officers responded to a shots fired call around 1:15 p.m. at the Beverly Glen property, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.

Investigators say the gunfire came from a car across the street from the singer's mansion.

The suspect, a 30-year-old woman, has been arrested, the LAPD said. The motive was not immediately clear and the investigation is ongoing.

Multiple shots were fired at the residence, but none penetrated the inside of her home, only the exterior, sources said. Multiple rounds did hit the outside of the home, though, as well as a vehicle parked out front.

Sources said that the weapon allegedly used by the woman was an AR-style gun. At least two homes on the block had bullet holes.

In dispatch audio, officials are heard saying the suspect's Tesla was followed by an LAPD helicopter into a mall parking garage, where she was pulled over and detained by patrol units.

Investigators are trying to determine whether the suspect knew if Rihanna lived at the home.

Rihanna shares three children with her partner, rapper A$AP Rocky. It's unclear if A$AP Rocky and the children were home at the time of the shooting.
