Weezer bassist Scott Shriner's wife Jillian Lauren was shot by police officers in Los Angeles Tuesday after authorities say she pointed 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, 51, came out from one of the nearby homes with a weapon in hand, though 'it's unclear whether she fired' the gun, TMZ reported.
After Lauren did not listen to repeated commands from reporting officers, the LAPD told TMZ, officers shot at Lauren, hitting her shoulder.
Lauren, an author by trade, 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.
Lauren was subsequently booked in connection with attempted murder, sources confirmed to The New York Post Wednesday.

lmao!!
Badda Boom!!
People who live in lawless parts of California?
Of which there are lots...
Like it or not, if you involve yourself with the cops while carrying a weapon and refusing orders to drop it....
You’re gonna get shot.
Looking again at his picture in post 2....
....The little faggot, he’s a millionaire.
The article kept mentioning “her babysitter” so was it actually hers or are there kids? What does the babysitter have to do with anything?
heard about this. had no idea the woman in question was a celebrity. hope her arm makes a full recovery.
From her Wiki page:
“Jillian Lauren (born August 16, 1973) is an American writer, performer, adoption advocate, and former call girl for Jefri Bolkiah, Prince of Brunei; about whom she wrote her first memoir, Some Girls: My Life in a Harem.[1]”
“They do tell us that it is only a misdemeanor to do a hit and run in California.”
Generally speaking you cannot use deadly force to stop
a misdemeanor.
Cops do it all the time, inject yourself in the middle
where physical threat is a possibility then it is a felony.
Deadly for is allowed in Felonies.
So she was going to try to stop the perps from fleeing from a hit and run so they shot her.

That’s exactly what did NOT happen. Read the excerpt again.
:)
Hopefully, there is some bodycam footage.
nice tooth you got there.
Someone has to say it, am surprised no one has.
Not guilty.
She was playing vigilante. No self-defense here.
She was safe inside her house, then came out with a gun to play cop.
The perps were guilty of misdemeanor hit & run. What if they had ignored her and kept running? Would she have shot them? Is that "reasonable force"?
This is Los Angeles. Police don't like it when civilians try and do their job. You can't go around aiming guns at fleeing misdemeanor suspects.
Are civilians allowed to aim a gun at fleeing misdemeanor suspects?
And if they continue running, are you allowed to shoot them?
Read the article. This had nothing to do with Castle Doctrine.
She was safe inside her home. A hit and run occurred outside her home.
So she came outside with a gun and tried to play cop.
Whoever she aimed the gun at.
That doesn't even involve them.
