LAPD Shoots Weezer Bassist's Wife Jillian Lauren in Confrontation

Los Angeles police released body camera, surveillance, and 911 audio footage showing the April 8 shooting of Jillian Lauren, author and wife of Weezer bassist Scott Shriner, during a chaotic search for hit-and-run suspects in the Eagle Rock neighborhood. Lauren, who was not involved in the original incident, emerged from her home armed with a pistol; officers repeatedly ordered her to drop the weapon, warning she would be shot. The footage shows Lauren apparently raising and racking her gun before officers fired, striking her in the arm with non-life-threatening injuries. She was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, posted a $1 million bond, and is scheduled to appear in court. The released videos provide context to the tense encounter, with officers identifying themselves and attempting to de-escalate before the shooting occurred. Lauren is a noted author, and the incident has garnered attention due to her public profile and the dramatic circumstances of the confrontation.
