Rihanna At Home During Gunfire, Remains Unharmed While Police Round Up Suspect
At 1.15 pm on March 8, 2026, a mansion in Beverly Hills was hit by gunshots. Later, it was discovered to be Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s home. The LAPD (Los Angeles Police Department) revealed to CBS News that they found casings belonging to an assault rifle in the ‘Umbrella’ hitmaker’s house. According to the LA Times, a source informed them that she happened to be present at the time of the shooting.
Though no one was injured after the sudden shots, the AR-15-style rifle left bullet fragments in several parts of the property. The police department picked up the 30-year-old woman about 12 kms away from the scene of the attack. Piecing together the timeline, it appears that the suspect fired seven rounds from a car (a TESLA, supposedly) and then drove away quickly. The rifle allowed the suspect to fire into Rihanna’s house even from a distance.
More details about the shooting and the motivation behind the attack are awaited. The LAPD said it could reveal further information on March 9. As of publication, they are unaware of why the woman fired bullets and whether the ‘Work’ singer was the intended target. It is unclear if A$AP Rocky or the kids were present at the scene of the gunfire.
