A 51-year-old author and the wife of Weezer bassist Scott Shriner, Jillian Lauren, was shot and arrested on suspicion of attempted murder in Eagle Rock, Los Angeles, on Wednesday. The incident occurred as police were pursuing suspects involved in a hit-and-run through her backyard.
The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) reported that they were assisting California Highway Patrol officers in their search for three individuals connected to the hit-and-run when Lauren allegedly pointed a handgun at them. Despite multiple orders to drop the weapon, she reportedly refused and aimed the gun at the officers, leading to her being shot. She sustained non-life-threatening injuries and retreated into her home, where she was subsequently taken into custody and transported to a hospital.
It remains unclear whether Lauren discharged the firearm during the encounter. According to jail records, she is currently being held on a $1 million bail.
Jillian Lauren is known for her bestselling memoirs, including “Some Girls: My Life In A Harem” and “Everything You Ever Wanted.” She and Shriner have been married since 2005 and share two children. Meanwhile, Weezer is scheduled to perform at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival this Saturday.
