Jillian Shriner, wife of Scott Shriner, was released on $1 million bond after being shot and arrested for allegedly firing at police in Eagle Rock.

  • Jillian Shriner, an author and wife of Weezer bassist Scott Shriner, was shot by LAPD officers on April 8 after allegedly firing a handgun at them during a search for hit-and-run suspects in Eagle Rock, Los Angeles.
  • Shriner was hospitalized with a non-life-threatening shoulder injury, arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, and released on $1 million bond on April 9.
