Jillian Lauren Shriner, the wife of Weezer bassist Scott Shriner, was shot by police in Los Angeles after she pointed a gun at officers who were searching for hit-and-run suspects. Shriner, a journalist and author, was not involved in the hit-and-run incident but was found armed in the backyard of her home. The shooting is currently being investigated by the LAPD’s Force Investigation Division, as it is unclear whether she fired at officers.
Police repeatedly told Shriner to drop the handgun before shooting her, resulting in non-life-threatening injuries. No clear evidence from body-worn camera footage shows what happened in the moments leading up to the shooting. Police are reviewing multiple videos and seeking access to surveillance camera footage from the area.
Shriner’s manager and representatives from Weezer did not respond to requests for comment. The LAPD also found a 9 mm handgun in Shriner’s home after the incident. One of the hit-and-run suspects was found, cited, and released, while two others remain at large.
The incident occurred after the California Highway Patrol requested assistance in finding hit-and-run suspects who had fled into a residential neighborhood following a crash on a nearby freeway. Authorities encountered Shriner while searching for these suspects.
