Jillian Lauren-Shriner, wife of Scott Shriner—the bassist of Weezer—is reportedly facing an attempted murder charge. The news comes after she allegedly fired at an officer, according to police. The disturbing incident was reported on Thursday, April 10, and confirmed by the Los Angeles Police Department.
According to PEOPLE, the accused, who is also an author, discharged her weapon during an incident on Tuesday, April 8.
LAPD spokesperson Jennifer Forkish stated, “Our investigation revealed evidence such as a shell casing and video footage showing she repeatedly ignored police commands to disarm and that she fired her weapon at LAPD officers.”
The spokesperson further stated that Jillian Lauren-Shriner was subsequently booked for the attempted murder of a peace officer. The outlet also reported an audio recording in which an officer can be heard informing dispatchers that the woman had a gun in her hand.
"Female suspect's going to be wanted for ADW [assault with a deadly weapon] on the PO [police officer]," one officer was reportedly heard saying. Another officer in the same audio requested a response for a "female suspect, gunshot victim."
Describing the suspect, the officer was heard saying she was wearing a long gray-sleeved shirt and black pants while holding a gun.
Jillian Lauren-Shriner’s arrest followed an incident that occurred two days earlier, during which police were searching for three suspects involved in a hit-and-run.
According to reports, the suspects had fled to her residential Eagle Rock neighborhood. While searching the area, officers encountered “a female, later identified as 51-year-old Jillian Shriner, in the yard of a neighboring residence armed with a handgun.”
While Lauren-Shriner was not connected to the hit-and-run case, officers are taking strict action against her after she refused to comply with commands to drop her weapon, prompting police to shoot her in the shoulder.
She was later released on a USD 1 million bond.
