Author, wife of Weezer bassist arrested after being shot by police who say she pointed a gun at them

Authorities say Jillian Lauren, author and wife of Weezer bassist Scott Shriner, was shot and injured by Los Angeles police and arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after pointing a gun at officers. The LAPD said in a statement Wednesday that the 51-year-old Lauren had injuries that were not life-threatening. A message to her manager was not immediately answered. Police say officers were pursuing unrelated hit-and-run suspects when they came across Lauren holding a gun in a neighboring front yard. Police say they fired when she refused to drop the gun and pointed it at them. She fled into a home where she was taken into custody, hospitalized and arrested.
