A woman opened fire on pop star Rihanna's Los Angeles home with an AR-15-style rifle on Sunday while the singer was inside, police said.


Four rounds or fragments hit parts of the property, Los Angeles police said. The suspected shooter was taken into custody.


Her name was not released, and LAPD Capt. Mike Bland said in a statement that more information, including booking allegations, would be released on Monday.


The shooting was reported at 1:15 p.m. at the home the singer shares with hip-hop star A$AP Rocky just outside the city of Beverly Hills, the LAPD said. It wasn't known whether A$AP Rocky or the couple's children were home at the time.


Representatives for the couple did not immediately respond to requests for comment.



The woman drove up to the home and started shooting with what police described as an AR-15-style rifle. A possible motive was not immediately provided.


Bland said the weapon involved was recovered by officers, who received a call about an assault with a deadly weapon.


The LAPD's elite Robbery-Homicide Division is investigating, police said.


Video from NBC Los Angeles' helicopter showed what appeared to be bullet holes in a gate. The video also showed the public street in front of the home blocked by yellow crime scene tape attached to an LAPD SUV. A few people could be seen walking away from the property.


Rihanna's home is located in the larger Beverly Crest area, an upscale neighborhood about 20 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles.
