Danger strikes when you least expect it!
Denise Richards and her husband Aaron Phypers were traveling in their truck when another driver fired at their vehicle out of road rage, leaving a bullet hole.
According to TMZ, Aaron was driving Denise to Popsicle Studio in Los Angeles on Monday. He was having trouble finding his destination and the car behind them had no patience for that. The outlet reports that the other driver was yelling at the couple and tried to get in front of them.
Aaron did let the car pass, but it was at that point that things turned violent.
The driver of the other vehicle fired a shot at Aaron’s truck, hitting the rear of the driver’s side.
TMZ says that Denise was sobbing by the time she got to set. Fortunately, the couple was both unharmed though.
Production called law enforcement after seeing the bullethole on the truck. It is unclear if a police report was filed.
Despite the traumatic incident, the former star of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills still filmed for a full 12 hours. Her husband stayed on set all day as well.
An off-duty cop escorted them to the freeway when it was eventually time for them to go home.
The actress is currently working on a role in Angels Fallen: Warriors of Peace as a weapons expert, per the outlet.
Denise has not commented publicly on the incident, posting nothing on her social media since the assault.

Denise Richards Criticizes Former Co-Star Lisa Rinna For Her Behavior at 'RHOBH' Reunion
It’s only a rumor that Denise Richards is returning to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, but the former housewife is already bringing the drama.
Denise spoke out about Lisa Rinna’s behavior at the recent reunion.
"I watched #RHOBH last night,” the 51-year-old began in an Instagram post.
The mother of three continued, “While I have empathy for Lisa Rinna losing her mom, what is her excuse all the other years on the show for being so cruel & so vindictive?"
During Denise’s time on Real Housewives, Lisa tried to get her to confess to an affair with Brandi Glanville.
Denise recently told Jeff Lewis that she’s open to returning to RHOBH, despite rumors that she refused to work with Rinna.
“That is not true. I would be fine with working with Lisa and filming with her. I never said I wouldn't come back with her,” Denise clarified.
“She reached out to me, she sent me a text apologizing. There was a rumor that I never responded but I did respond—I responded right away,” detailed the Scary Movie 3 actress.
Although they may have resolved things, Denise was still willing to open up about her past issues with Lisa.

“I will say this: Lisa Rinna, she plays dirty, she can be really nasty, and so I think that's just something to know about with her being on the show,” Denise emphasized to Jeff.
The Real Girl Next Door author does not believe that their friendship will ever be the same.
“I don't think I would ever; I could never be close friends with her after what happened,” Denise explained. “...She apologized to me while we were actually filming, but then she just went back to the same behavior—so it's hard for me to actually believe that the apology is genuine.”
The former star might be forced to deal with Lisa’s drama again soon. The Pretty Corrupt Podcast reported that Denise has finally signed on to return to RHOBH.
“Supposedly, and this is from a current cast member from this season, Denise Richards is coming back,” the host said. “Like signed, supposedly.”
“The past few weeks, you guys have seen on social media, she’s having lunch with Sutton, lunch with the cast, and that is part of Bravo’s process of seeing what your chemistry is like and teasing your connections,” they added.
On October 3, Denise posted a photo with Sutton Stracke.
“Had a fun lunch with you beautiful Ms. Sutton girl. Glad we caught up. Although I think we could have chatted through their dinner shift,” Denise captioned the post. “Let’s do that slumber party with @garcelle. That will be fun.”
“I’m in Image may be NSFW. Clik here to view.Image may be NSFW. Clik here to view.,” Garcelle Beauvais commented.
