Denise Richards and her husband Aaron Pfeiffer were involved in a road rage incident in which the couple was shot, Deadline has confirmed.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum was in the passenger side of a truck her husband was driving and headed to a film studio in Los Angeles for work. As the couple slowed down to look for parking, a driver behind them became enraged and opened fire in their direction.
TMZ was the first to report the incident with photos showing the bullet holes in the Ford F-150 truck. The publication states that “Denise fed off everyone’s emotions and worked for 12 hours.” At the end of her work day, an off-duty police officer escorted the couple as they started to drive home.
Richards has not given an official statement about the incident at this time. However, a source told People that the Wild Things star was “very shaken up” by the events.
“She was very upset and terrified, but she was a trooper and went back and forth all day,” the source told the outlet. “He didn’t want to not show up to work.”
The source said the couple didn’t initially notice they had been shot until they headed to the studio.
“The guy had taken off by then, but when they realized the car had been shot, they were really freaking out and production secured the scene,” the source added. “Although they were upset, [Richards] he decided to stay and film. Her role was just a one-day deal.”
