Weezer bassist Scott Shriner’s wife Jillian Lauren was shot by police officers in Los Angeles Tuesday after authorities say she fired a gun at a hit-and-run suspect, and refused to obey orders from officers on the scene.
The incident began with a hit-and-run in the LA neighborhood of Eagle Rock, police told TMZ Tuesday, noting that a trio of suspects exited their vehicle on foot and scattered.
All three had been running from the scene, police said, adding that Lauren came out from one of the nearby homes with a weapon in hand, firing at one of the alleged suspects.
After Lauren did not listen to repeated commands from reporting officers, the LAPD told TMZ, officers shot at Lauren, hitting her shoulder.
Lauren went back into the house after she was struck, and later emerged from the abode with her hands up in surrender, police told the outlet.
