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. Dailymail.com has reached out to authorities with the LAPD for additional comment.
According to the paper, police said in a news release they were on the scene answering a misdemeanor hit-and-run call around 3:25 local time...
Lauren was taken to a nearby medical facility by paramedics with the Los Angeles Fire department, according to the outlet.
Medical professionals examined her for what was described as 'a non-life-threatening gunshot wound' following the violent series of events.
Police said that they took a 9-millimeter handgun from her home upon examining the abode in the wake of the unlikely scenario that played out Wednesday in Southern California.
No one else was injured during Wednesday's chain of events, police said, adding that Lauren had nothing to do with the initial hit-and-run.

“ After Lauren did not listen to repeated commands from reporting officers…”
I think I see the problem…..
I heard she once let a guy freeze half to death by pulling a string on his sweater, then walking away.
Oh he knows there is more at that link. He’s been posting there.
So why he felt the need to post a duplicate thread that is going to get locked is a mystery.
Kek!
I wonder where in the hierarchy of rock a Weezer groupie fits.
Cops going overboard again. Let the bad guys get away again.
Not guilty!
Ping
Was that before, or after, she stole his Hash Pipe?
