Lauren was killed, then went
“The police ordered Shriner to drop the handgun on several occasions; however, she refused,” the press release said. “Shriner then pointed the handgun on the officers, and a shooting involving an officer occurred.”
Lauren, 51, went to her house after being struck by shots, according to the official account. The helicopters of new local televisions – who hovered over the car accident area – showed the scene while Lauren emerged from her home. She and another woman posed in front of the ground and police officers put handcuffs on Lauren.
The handcuffs were deleted later, because Lauren was put on a stretcher and raised in an ambulance. Police said that she “had been treated for a deadly shutter injury” – on her shoulder, according to local television KTLA – in a local hospital.
The LAPD says that a 9 -millimeter handgun was found at Lauren’s home.
Lauren was not involved in the offense of flight, according to the police. But due to the meeting with the police in her court, she was “reserved absent” for an attempted murder. An absent reservation is common in cases where a suspect is injured and receives medical care, rather than being treated in the prison system.
As for the excavation accident, one of the three suspects was detained, cited and released by California Highway Patrol.
