The recent incident of firing at singer Rihanna's residence in Los Angeles had left everyone shocked, as she was inside at that time.

The report also suggests that Sangaland said he had learned of the shooting after receiving calls and emails about Ortiz, including some from news agencies asking for more information. Although he had tried to hide this from their minor child, somehow he got hold of the news from school. Now, he is asking the court to grant him full custody and sole decision-making over the child after the recent incident.
