Abstract: Let $(M,g,f)$ be a $4$-dimensional complete noncompact gradient shrinking Ricci soliton with the equation $Ric+abl{a}^{2}f=lambdag$, where $lambda$ is a positive real number. We prove that if $M$ has constant scalar curvature $S=2lambda$, it must be a quotient of $mathbb{S}^{2}imesmathbb{R}^2$. Together with the known results, this implies that a $4$-dimensional complete gradient shrinking Ricci soliton has constant scalar curvature if and only if it is rigid, that is, it is either Einstein, or a finite quotient of Gaussian shrinking soliton $Bbb{R}^4$, $Bbb{S}^{2}imesBbb{R}^2$ or $Bbb{S}^{3}imesBbbR$.
