A woman has been charged with the attempted murder of Rihanna.
Ivanna Lisette Ortiz, 35, of Orlando, Florida, appeared in court on Tuesday after shots were fired at the star’s LA home.
The incident happened on Sunday afternoon, when Rihanna was home with partner A$AP Rocky and their three young children, as well as her mother. Nobody was injured.
In addition to attempted murder, police said Ortiz had been charged with 10 counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm and three counts of shooting at an inhabited vehicle or dwelling.
The three shooting charges related to Rihanna’s house, her trailer – which she was inside at the time – and her neighbour’s property.
The assault charges cover Rihanna, her family, two members of staff, and two people in the neighbouring house.

No other details of the incident, such as the suspect’s possible motivation, were discussed in court.
Ortiz’s lawyer Jamarcus Bradford initially entered a not guilty plea on her behalf, but it was withdrawn ahead of an arraingment hearing later this month. She is being held on a $1.8m (£1.4m) bail.
The hearing took place in a courtroom just a few floors from where rapper A$AP Rocky went through a trial last year.
