Jillian Lauren, author and wife of Weezer’s bassist, Scott Shriner, was killed by Los Angeles police and arrested for attempted murder after pointing a firearm on police officers before, authorities announced on Wednesday.
Lauren, 51, identified by the police like Jillian Shriner and listed like Jillian Lauren Shriner in the prison archives, suffered injuries that were not fatal after the shooting in the northeast district of Los Angeles of Eagle Rock on Thursday, the LAPD announced in a statement.
Its representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comments and there is no indication that Scott Shriner was involved in the incident. Weezer should play the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival on Saturday.
Police said they were helping California Highway Patrol officers in their search for three suspects of an offense. Lauren was not among the suspects. But while pursuing one of them who would have run in a courtyard, the police fell on Lauren in the courtyard before his neighboring residence, holding a handgun.
They repeatedly ordered her to drop the pistol, but she refused and pointed it to the police. They did not say if she had shot the weapon, but said that she had been touched by police gunshots and fled to her house, where they placed her in police custody and then took her to the hospital.
A 9 -millimeter handgun has been recovered at Shriner’s home, the police press release said.
It was then reserved and published after losing a deposit of $ 1 million, according to files from the county prison.
Lauren did not appear in court, and he was not immediately clear if she had hired a lawyer. There were no immediate answers to an email to his manager and a message left on his author’s website. There was also no response to an email asking for comments from a representative for Weezer.
Lauren is the author of two successful memories, “Some Girls: My Life in A Harem” in 2010 and “All You You Want” in 2015.
Weezer is a group of beloved Los Angeles for their 1994 record known unofficially under the name “Blue album”, with songs such as “Say It Ain’t So” and “Buddy Holly”. Shriner joined the group in the early 2000s.
Lauren and Shriner were married in 2005, and they have two children.
