For Scott Shriner, the show must go on.
The Weezer bassist performed at Coachella April 12 just days after the arrest of wife Jillian Lauren, who was struck by gunfire in an “officer-involved shooting” on April 8, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
California Highway Patrol requested police backup to locate three hit-and-run suspects who fled to L.A.’s Eagle Rock neighborhood. While securing the area, officers spotted Jillian—who’s legal name is Jillian Shriner—armed with a handgun in a neighboring residence.
“The officers ordered Shriner to drop the handgun multiple times; however, she refused,” police said in an April 9 police report. “Shriner then pointed the handgun at the officers, and an Officer-Involved Shooting occurred.”
The true crime author—who married Scott in 2005—was hit by gunfire and transported to a local hospital where she was treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
“It was later determined that Shriner was uninvolved in the hit-and-run and lived at the residence where she was observed,” authorities said. “She was ultimately absentee booked for attempted murder.”
