Weezer bassist Scott Shriner’s wife was shot by police on Monday as officers searched for hit-and-run suspects in her Los Angeles neighborhood.

Jillian Lauren, 51, was treated for a non-life-threatening gunshot wound at a local hospital after the incident, but later booked for attempted murder, according to Los Angeles police.

The episode started on Monday afternoon at about 3.25pm when California highway patrol requested backup for investigating a three-car hit-and-run. As traffic backed up on the 134 freeway, at least one suspect fled on foot, witnesses told local outlet KTLA.

Uniformed officers responded to the request for backup and established a perimeter in the nearby Eagle Rock neighborhood. While there, a woman exited her home holding a handgun, according to police. Officers ordered her “to drop the handgun numerous times; however, she refused”, according to a LAPD press release. Authorites allege the woman, later identified as Lauren, pointed the gun at officers – which is when they fired on her.

Lauren was able to run back into her house, before returning shortly with a second woman, later identified as her babysitter. Police took both women into custody, transporting Lauren to a local hospital for treatment after determining she was not involved in the hit-and-run.

Lauren and her babysitter were later released from police custody, although she was later absentee booked for attempted murder.

Lauren is the author of two bestselling memoirs, 2010’s Some Girls: My Life in a Harem and 2015’s Everything You Ever Wanted.

Weezer is a Los Angeles band beloved for their 1994 record unofficially known as the Blue Album, featuring songs including Say It Ain’t So and Buddy Holly. Shriner joined the band in the early 2000s.

Lauren and Shriner married in 2005, two years before the bassist would join Weezer. The couple also have two children.

The band is scheduled to perform at Coachella this weekend.
