In a strange turn of events, Jillian Shriner, the wife of Weezer's bassist Scott Shriner, found herself in a tense standoff with the LAPD. This all went down in East Los Angeles, where police were on the hunt for suspects involved in a hit-and-run. The scene unfolded quickly, with officers chasing down a suspect who had run into a residential backyard. It was there that things took a bizarre turn.

    The police spotted a woman, later identified as Jillian Shriner, holding a handgun in a nearby yard. Officers repeatedly ordered her to drop the weapon, but Shriner refused. She even pointed the gun at the officers, leading to a critical moment where an officer-involved shooting occurred. Shriner was hit and managed to flee into her home. A 9mm handgun was later found in her residence. Fortunately, no one else was hurt during the incident.

    Shriner was rushed to a hospital with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound. She was later charged with attempted murder and booked in absentia. The L. A. County Sheriff’s Department reported that she was released after posting a $1 million bond. Her next court appearance is scheduled for April 30. Meanwhile, one of the hit-and-run suspects was caught and cited, while the other two remain at large. The investigation into this strange incident is still ongoing.

    Aerial footage from KTLA showed two women, one believed to be Shriner and the other her babysitter, walking out of a home with their hands up. Shriner was later seen lying face down before both women were taken into custody. Jillian Shriner, who also goes by Jillian Lauren, is known for her bestselling memoirs, including "Some Girls: My Life in a Harem, " which details her experiences in the harem of Prince Jefri Bolkiah of Brunei.

    The incident happened just days before Weezer's scheduled performance at Coachella. The rock band is set to take the stage on Saturday afternoon. Scott Shriner was seen walking his dogs outside their home. He mentioned that his wife was "doing alright" and added, "See you at Coachella! "

    This event raises several questions. Why did Jillian Shriner refuse to drop the gun? What was her state of mind during the standoff? And how will this incident affect her personal life and her husband's career? These are all things to think about as the story unfolds.
