Wife of Weezer’s Bassist Shot in Officer-Involved Shooting, Booked for Attempted Murder: Police

Author and wife of Weezer bassist Scott Shriner, Jillian Lauren, was shot in an officer-involved shooting on Tuesday, LAPD said.

According to the news release from the Los Angeles Police Department, the incident occurred Tuesday afternoon after California Highway Patrol requested backup in locating three misdemeanor hit-and-run suspects who fled into a residential neighborhood near Eagle Rock in Los Angeles. LAPD officers approached a home where one of the suspects was seen running and Shriner appeared in the backyard of the residence, armed with a handgun. Weezer recently celebrated their 30th anniversary of the Blue Album with a tour, and are set for a number of other festivals, including Kilby Block Party next month, Soundside in September, and When We Were Young in October.
