According to the police report, authorities were called to the party’s location at around 4:30 a.m., after an argument involving Lanez broke out outside the home.
Witnesses told TMZ that shots were fired in the air before an SUV sped off from the scene.
After police received a description of the SUV, they located it and found both Tory and Megan inside, along with another unidentified woman and a gun.
Officers also recovered four shell casings on the ground outside of the home, police told TMZ.
Lanez was booked in connection with a felony count of carrying a concealed weapon. He was held on a $35K bail.

Hours before the arrest, Megan Thee Stallion and Lanez were seen on Kylie Jenner’s Instagram Live page hanging out at a pool party in Kylie’s home.
According to Hollywood Life, there was no confirmation whether Kylie was at the same Hollywood Hills home at the time shots were allegedly fired, though the location is several miles away from her own home.
