Author Shot by Police in Backyard; Attempted Murder Charge Sparks Outrage
Bestselling author Jillian Lauren Shriner, wife of Weezer bassist Scott Shriner, was shot by Los Angeles police officers responding to a hit-and-run incident. Police claim Shriner, found armed with a handgun in her backyard, refused repeated commands to drop the weapon before being shot. The shooting, currently under investigation, is unclear from bodycam footage, with authorities unsure if Shriner fired upon officers. Shriner, who was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries, has been charged with attempted murder.
