**Jillian Shriner, Author and Wife of Weezer Bassist, Shot by LAPD, Arrested on Suspicion of Attempted Murder**

 

**LOS ANGELES** – Jillian Shriner, a published author and the wife of Scott Shriner, the long-time bassist for the popular rock band Weezer, was shot by police and subsequently arrested on suspicion of attempted murder following a tense confrontation on Tuesday, the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed. The incident occurred while officers were investigating an unrelated crime in the vicinity.

According to the official statement released by the LAPD, the events unfolded when officers were actively attempting to locate and apprehend a suspect involved in a hit-and-run incident. During this operation, officers reportedly observed Ms. Shriner at a "neighboring residence" holding a handgun.

The LAPD account details

 that officers repeatedly instructed Ms. Shriner to lower and relinquish the weapon. The statement asserts that she failed to comply with these commands. "Shriner then pointed the handgun at the officers, and an Officer-involved Shooting occurred," the LAPD release stated, as reported by CNN.

 

  • Following the discharge of the officer's firearm, Ms. Shriner was struck by
  •  gunfire. The LAPD reported that she then retreated into her residence. A
  •  short time later, she exited the home and was taken into custody by the
  •  officers present at the scene without further immediate incident.

 

Emergency medical services were summoned, and Ms. Shriner was transported to a local hospital for treatment. Authorities described her wound as "non-life-threatening.

" After receiving medical attention, she was formally arrested on suspicion of attempted murder of a police officer. Her bail has been set at a substantial $1 million, reflecting the gravity of the alleged offense.

 

Crucially,

 while the LAPD provided a sequence of events leading to the shooting, reports, notably from CNN citing police sources, indicated that the department was unable to offer an immediate explanation as to *why* Ms. Shriner was armed or what precipitated her alleged actions. This leaves a significant gap in the narrative surrounding the moments leading up to the confrontation.

  1.  Authorities confirmed the recovery of a 9-millimeter handgun from Ms.
  2.  Shriner's residence, which is presumed to be the weapon involved in the
  3.  incident.

 

The initial police activity that brought officers to the neighborhood stemmed from a search for suspects connected to a hit-and-run collision. The LAPD confirmed that one of three male suspects sought in relation to that separate investigation was detained nearby but was later released pending further investigation. 

It appears Ms. Shriner's involvement was incidental to the original police call-out, occurring only when she was observed armed during the search.

 

The news

 has generated significant attention due to Ms. Shriner's connection to the music industry through her husband, Scott Shriner, who has been Weezer's bassist since 2001. The couple married in 2005. Jillian Shriner is also known in her own right as an author. This public profile contrasts sharply with the serious criminal allegations she now faces.

 

  • Officer-involved shootings in Los Angeles invariably trigger multi-layered
  •  investigations, typically involving the LAPD's Force Investigation Division,
  •  the Office of the Inspector General, and the Los Angeles County District
  •  Attorney's Office. These investigations scrutinize the circumstances leading
  •  up to the use of deadly force, compliance with department policy, and the
  •  legality of the actions taken by all parties involved.

 

As the investigation progresses, further details may emerge regarding the context of the incident and the motivations behind the alleged actions. Ms. Shriner is currently facing a very serious felony charge, and the legal process will now follow its course. 

The circumstances leading a respected author and spouse of a famous musician to an armed confrontation with police resulting in her being shot and arrested remain perplexing and deeply concerning.
