Jillian Shriner, bestselling author and wife of Weezer bassist Scott Shriner, was struck in an officer-involved shooting Tuesday afternoon and is facing an attempted murder charge.

Jillian Shriner, known by her author name Jillian Lauren, was absentee booked for attempted murder, according to a press release issued by the Los Angeles Police Department Wednesday afternoon. Suspects who are hospitalized are often booked in absentia.

According to her Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department inmate record, Shriner’s bail is set at $1 million.

The shooting was connected to a hit-and-run incident on the 134 Freeway, which led to a hunt for three suspects in the Eagle Rock neighborhood, located in northeast Los Angeles County, according to the LAPD’s press release. Officers allegedly tracked one suspect to the backyard of a house and “observed a female, later identified as 51-year-old Jillian Shriner, in the yard of a neighboring residence armed with a handgun.” Police confirmed she was standing in her own backyard and also was not involved in the hit-and-run.

Officers claim that, despite multiple orders to drop the nine-millimeter handgun, Shriner “refused,” then “pointed the handgun at the officers.” In an ensuing officer-involved shooting, “Shriner was struck by gunfire and fled into her residence,” per the LAPD.

She allegedly later left her home, was taken into custody and transported to a hospital for a “non-life-threatening gunshot wound.”

The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office does not have information on Shriner’s case as of Wednesday evening, a spokesperson confirmed to USA TODAY.

USA TODAY has reached out to the Shriners’ representatives for comment.

The investigation into the case is “ongoing” and in preliminary stages, the LAPD said. One hit-and-run suspect was detained, cited and released by California Highway Patrol, while two other suspects remain at large.

Jillian and Scott Shriner, who were married in 2005, have two sons. Jillian Shriner, who describes herself on her website as a “writer, storyteller, adoption advocate, rock-wife” and “true-crime expert,” wrote the New York Times bestselling memoir “Some Girls: My Life in a Harem” and “Behold the Monster: Confronting America’s Most Prolific Serial Killer.”

Weezer is scheduled to perform Saturday at the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival in Southern California’s Coachella Valley.
