Jillian Lauren shot by LAPD, faces attempted murder charges

Jillian Lauren, an author and wife of Weezer bassist Scott Shriner, was shot by Los Angeles police and arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after pointing a handgun at officers during a chaotic police response to a hit-and-run incident in her neighborhood. The 51-year-old sustained non-life-threatening injuries when police fired at her after she allegedly refused multiple orders to drop her weapon, which was later recovered from her home. The incident unfolded as police pursued suspects involved in a car crash, leading to Lauren confronting officers with her gun in her front yard. Following the shooting, she retreated into her home before surrendering to police alongside a babysitter. Lauren was subsequently charged and released on a $1 million bond. Her representatives have not commented on the situation, and it remains unclear if she has retained legal counsel.
