Jillian Shriner, a bestselling author known professionally as Jillian Lauren and the wife of Scott Shriner, bassist for the alternative rock band Weezer, was shot during an apparent confrontation with Los Angeles Police Department officers on Tuesday. She was then arrested and charged with attempted murder.
The incident occurred while LAPD and California Highway Patrol were looking for suspects in an unrelated crime. Shriner was later hospitalized with non-life threatening injuries and booked in absentia on charges of attempted murder.
LAPD representatives didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment from TheWrap, but the department said in a statement Wednesday afternoon that the hit and run accident occurred on the 134 freeway near the Figueroa exit.
