Jillian Lauren, the wife of Weezer bassist Scott Shriner, was shot during a shootout with police. The incident occurred on Tuesday, when the LAPD responded to a hit-and-run on the freeway in the Eagle Rock neighborhood of Los Angeles. Three suspects fled the scene by foot, with one climbing over the freeway embankment and running through a residential street.
According to a law enforcement source, Lauren emerged from her house with a gun in hand and started shooting, presumably at the suspect. Cops instructed her to drop the weapon several times, and when she did not comply they shot her in the shoulder. After getting struck, she ran back into her house. Thirty minutes later, Lauren and her babysitter came back outside with their hands up and surrendered to police. Lauren was taken to the hospital and booked for attempted murder. The suspect was eventually caught; however, the other two are still at large.
