Weezer bassist Scott Shriner’s wife looked frail as she stepped out with the rocker days after she was shot by the police and booked on suspicion of attempted murder.
Jillian Lauren Shriner, 51, was wounded outside the couple’s home in Eagle Rock, northeast Los Angeles on April 9 after a cop shot her in the shoulder.
She allegedly became entangled in a police manhunt through their neighborhood and pointed a gun at officers from her front yard, which is when they opened fire.
Jillian, who recently revealed that she is battling cancer, was then absentee booked on suspicion of attempted murder while being taken to a nearby medical facility.
The couple put on a united front in their first joint public outing since the wild shootout, with Jillian leaning on Scott, 59, and holding onto his wrist in LA on Wednesday.
Scott looked somber as he spoke with his wife, who bore a pained expression he helped her to a waiting car amid her recovery from the gunshot wound.

It comes after Shriner has said his wife is ‘alright’ after the shooting, while also plugging his band’s Coachella performance.
Speaking outside his Los Angeles home Thursday, Shriner said: ‘She’s alright, thank you for asking,’ when approached by a New York Post reporter. He declined to give any further details about his wife.
‘See you at Coachella,’ he added, in a plug for the Weezer gig.
Jillian was taken to the hospital with injuries which were not life-threatening, the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) said at the time.
The carnage unfolded when a male suspect entered her neighbor’s property after he was caught up in a three-car crash on the 134 Freeway around 3pm.
He fled the scene with two more male suspects, and hid from officers by stripping down to his boxer shorts before jumping into a resident’s swimming pool and watering some plants in a bizarre attempt to blend in with the neighborhood.
Jillian then exited her home with a gun, though it is unclear whether she actually fired the weapon.
Officers ordered her several times to drop the gun, but she refused, and pointed it at them, police allege. She was struck in the shoulder by police gunfire.

Jillian revealed that she is battling cancer only weeks before the incident. She had shared a post to her main Instagram page last month in March to announce that she has cancer and is undergoing treatment
Jillian ran back inside her house before re-emerging a short time later with her babysitter by her side. They were both seen with their hands raised, as officers ordered them down the driveway, where they were arrested without incident.
At that point, Jillian allegedly told officers she was simply trying to defend her home from the suspect running through the neighborhood, according to CBS News. The man was also taken into custody.
Medical professionals examined her for what was described as ‘a non-life-threatening gunshot wound’ following the violent series of events.
Meanwhile, the driver of the car that crashed in the hit-and-run was detained by California Highway Patrol officers, cited and released.
Police said that they took a nine-millimeter handgun from Jillian’s home upon examining the abode in the wake of the saga that played out in Southern California.

A woman involved in the three-vehicle crash the man and two other male suspects fled from also suffered moderate injuries and was taken to the hospital, police said.
Officers added that Jillian had nothing to do with the initial hit-and-run.
Jillian was later booked and released after posting $1 million bond, LA County jail records showed.
She has not made a court appearance, and it was not immediately clear whether she has hired a lawyer.
Meanwhile, the remaining two suspects who fled the multi-car crash remain at large.
