A Halloween party hosted by Teyana Taylor ended in gunfire on Oct. 30, after shots rang out during the Hollywood event.

According to TMZ, the incident occurred at the Sunset Room when three armed suspects approached a group of women standing outside of the club attempting to rob them. Security at the establishment quickly stepped in to guard one of the women who was reportedly pistol-whipped during the robbery. The guard exchanged gunfire with one of the armed suspects but both missed their target.

The report notes that bullets flew into several cars parked nearby the scene of the incident. Authorities have not been able to identify the men in question as they fled shortly before police arrived. It’s unclear as to whether any items were stolen from the women during the attempted heist. Officials say the woman who was pistol-whipped refused medical attention after the ambulance arrived at the scene.

The shocking news comes as The Aunties Inc founder gears up for her farewell tour this month. Taylor, whose cranked out hits like “Gonna Love Me” and “Rose In Harlem” is preparing to exit from her fruitful music career.

“How lucky am I to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard…. However, for every goodbye, God makes the next hello closer,” the singer wrote on Instagram while promoting The Last Rose Petal Farewell Tour on Sept. 22. “Come out and watch me, leave it all out on the stage… One last time… Just for you & as my last rose petal falls, I say farewell….”

During an interview on Cam Newton’s “Sip an’ Smoke” web series in August, Taylor revealed that a part of the reason she was leaving the music industry was that she felt “underappreciated” by her label “G.O.O.D Music” and its founder, Kanye West.The Grammy-award-winning artist signed Taylor in 2014 while she was working with him on his album “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy,” Page Six noted.

“I am going to feel underappreciated if I’m putting in 110 percent and my label is giving me … what, 10 percent of that,” she said at the time. “I put in a lot of work [and] I felt like the label wasn’t really hearing me and [seeing] me. I feel underappreciated. It’s not that I retired permanently, it’s more like, I don’t want to move another inch for a company.” Taylor continued, “I ain’t gone front [I’m] feeling super underappreciated as an artist, receiving little to no real push from the ‘machine,’ constantly getting the shorter end of the stick, being overlooked, I mean the list [goes] on and on.”
