Weezer bassist Scott Shriner's wife, Jillian Lauren Shriner, was shot and wounded by Los Angeles police officers after she allegedly pointed a gun at authorities Tuesday.
According to a press release issued by the LAPD, multiple officers responded to a request for backup "locating three misdemeanor hit-and-run suspects who fled into a residential neighborhood" Tuesday afternoon.
When the officers were in the rear of a home where a suspect was last seen running, they saw a female, who was later identified as Shriner's wife, in the yard of a nearby home.
According to the press release, Jillian, 51, was armed with a handgun and was ordered to drop the weapon "numerous times" by law enforcement.
"However, she refused," according to the LAPD.
Jillian then allegedly pointed her gun at the officers before police shot her.
She retreated back inside her home, later exiting and being taken into custody, according to the LAPD. LAFD paramedics transported Jillian to a hospital, where she was treated for a non-life-threatening gunshot wound.
