The Los Angeles Police Department has released body cam footage of the shooting involving Jillian Lauren Shriner, the wife of Weezer bassist Scott Shriner. Jillian has been charged with attempted murder after allegedly firing her gun at police who were searching for three suspects involved in a high-speed chase.
In the footage released by the LAPD, officers can be seen searching for the suspects in the Eagle Rock neighborhood on April 8th when they encountered Shriner in her backyard with her gun drawn. Officers can be heard repeatedly asking her to drop her weapon to no avail. At one point, an officer says, “Oh, she racked it,” before gun shots erupt. Investigators later recovered one used cartridge casing, indicating that she fired off at least one shot.
Following the shooting, Shriner fled into her residence and contacted 911. Based on the audio released by the LAPD, it appears she was unaware that she had engaged with officers at the time, and instead believed she had fired at the suspects involved in the previously mentioned high-speed chase. After an hour, Shriner surrendered to police and was taken into custody. She was then transported to a local hospital to treat a non-life-threatening gunshot wound she had sustained. Shriner is due in court on April 30th.
