Tragedy Strikes Weezer's Family

In a startling turn of events, Jillian Shriner, wife of Weezer bassist Scott Shriner, was shot by LAPD and arrested for attempted murder during a police operation in Los Angeles.

Police Confrontation Turns Violent

On Tuesday afternoon, authorities were searching for a hit-and-run suspect in the Eagle Rock neighborhood when they encountered Jillian in her front yard, weapon in hand. Despite officers' repeated commands to drop the gun, she defiantly aimed it at them, prompting LAPD to fire. She was struck in the shoulder but thankfully sustained non-life-threatening injuries.

Chaos Unfolds

After being shot, Jillian fled inside her home, only to reemerge with her babysitter. Following her arrest, she was taken to a local hospital for treatment.

No Links to Hit-and-Run

The LAPD later confirmed that Jillian had no connection to the hit-and-run investigation. However, she was still charged with attempted murder, with a loaded 9-millimeter handgun recovered from the property.

What's Next for Weezer?

Scott Shriner, who has been a part of Weezer since 2001, has recently made headlines as the band was announced as a last-minute addition to Coachella 2023. The festival hosts are preparing for Weezer's performance during the event's first weekend on April 12, but it's unclear how Jillian's situation might impact Scott's involvement.

Weezer's Legacy

Since bursting onto the scene with their iconic 1994 album 'The Blue Album,' Weezer has secured their place in rock history, collecting four Grammy nominations and winning once in 2009 for Best Music Video. Beloved tracks like 'Buddy Holly,' 'Say It Ain't So,' and 'Islands in the Sun' continue to resonate with fans around the world.
