LOS ANGELES \u2014 It was just after 1 p.m. on a Sunday, and pop star Rihanna was inside an Airstream trailer parked in the driveway of her Los Angeles home. Her partner, rapper A$AP Rocky, was with her, dozing in a bed.<\/p>\n

Suddenly, she heard 10 loud sounds \u2014 like something banging on metal, she would later recount to police. When the noises stopped, she opened the curtains and saw bullet holes in the trailer\u2019s windshield.<\/p>\n

Rihanna grabbed A$AP Rocky and pushed him to the ground.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey shooting at us,\u201d she told him, according to court documents.<\/p>\n

That afternoon, March 8, police arrested a woman, Ivanna Lisette Ortiz, who they say fired at least 20 rounds from an AR-15-style rifle into Rihanna\u2019s house and a neighbor\u2019s. The narrative of what the authorities say transpired that day unfolds in the Los Angeles Police Department\u2019s investigative report of the episode.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors later charged Ortiz, a 35-year-old speech therapist from Orlando, Florida, with several counts, including attempted murder.<\/p>\n

All three of Rihanna and A$AP Rocky\u2019s children \u2014 ages 3, 2, and 5 months \u2014 were at home at the time of the shooting. Rihanna\u2019s mother was also there, as were a nanny and a housekeeper. Two people were inside the neighboring home.<\/p>\n

No injuries were reported.<\/p>\n

A representative for Rihanna did not respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n

At a hearing Wednesday, a lawyer representing Ortiz, who was dressed in an orange jumpsuit, argued that she was mentally incompetent. After a private hearing in the courtroom, the judge disagreed and said there was no evidence of incompetence.<\/p>\n

The Los Angeles County Public Defender\u2019s Office has been appointed to Ortiz\u2019s case but has declined to comment on it.<\/p>\n

In their report, police say that Ortiz was wearing a blond wig when she was arrested. They say she invoked her Miranda rights at a police station but did make one comment to a pair of detectives.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\u201cCan I say one sentence?\u201d they said she asked them. \u201cI would like to say that I wasn\u2019t attempting murder. But that\u2019s all I wanted to say.\u201d<\/p>\n

Police interviewed several witnesses to the shooting, including a chef for Rihanna who had been parked outside the home on what was her first day of work. At one point, a Tesla pulled up alongside the chef\u2019s vehicle. The chef later told the police that the woman in it appeared to be smirking or smiling, \u201cas if she was about to do something naughty.\u201d<\/p>\n

The chef thought the encounter was strange but went back to watching TikTok videos on her phone, according to the report. Then she heard a series of loud pops and looked up to see the Tesla driving away. Smoke from the gunshots was coming out of one of the car\u2019s windows, she said.<\/p>\n

When Rihanna was interviewed by police, she said she had at times dealt with stalkers and death threats on social media but could not think of a recent event that might be associated with the shooting.<\/p>\n

Rihanna told the authorities that after pushing A$AP Rocky to the ground, they both ran into the house and told everyone about the gunshots. Police identified bullet holes, the report says, in several places: the Airstream trailer, a pedestrian gate, a wooden fence and the exterior wall of a nursery.<\/p>\n
