Denise Richards has called out an ‘a**hole’ troll who said they ‘hoped’ that she had taken a ‘grazing gunshot to the neck’ after she was caught up in a terrifying road rage incident.

The actor was in a truck being driven by her husband Aaron Phypers in Los Angeles when the incident occurred.

Phypers had been looking for a spot to park in while taking Richards to the set of an upcoming project she's been filming for when an irate motorist opened fire at the truck while trying to pass.

Fortunately, Richards and Phypers were both unharmed in the attack, though they found a bullet hole in the back of their Ford Shelby F-150 truck on the driver's side later on.

A source told People that the couple only realized the car had been shot at when they arrived at the set.

They said: "The guy had taken off by then, but when they realized the car was shot, they were really freaked out, and the production secured the scene.

"Even though they were upset, [Richards] decided to stay and film. Her role was just a one-day deal.

"The production company made her feel safe but they didn't file a police report.

"They think now that people were after the car itself because it's worth a lot of money."

According to TMZ, Richards was ‘sobbing’ at work but still put in a full 12-hours on set with her husband sticking close by.

The source continued: "She was very shaken up and terrified, but she was a trooper and she went and filmed the whole day.

"She didn't want to not show up to work."

Richards has since posted about the incident on Twitter, where she called out a troll who had written: “Don’t care kinda hope she would have taken a grazing shot to the neck honestly.”

Responding to the grim tweet, Richards wrote: “Thank you. I would never wish any harm on anyone. What I experienced yesterday with my husband, not that you care. Was the most terrifying situation I have ever been in. I’m sorry a shot didn’t graze my neck… asshole.”

As of yesterday, the shocking incident hadn’t been reported to the Los Angeles Police Department - the force told NBC it had no record of such a report.

Officer Melissa Podany told the outlet: "We don't even know where it happened at this point.”

NBC also contacted California Highway Patrol, which handles emergency calls for freeways but a spokesperson said they couldn’t find a record of a report.
