Video Released in Shooting of Author Jillian Lauren in Los Angeles

LOS ANGELES — Police in Los Angeles have released video footage related to the shooting of author and celebrity wife Jillian Lauren, who was injured during a backyard confrontation on April 8. Lauren, married to Weezer bassist Scott Shriner, was struck by gunfire when she stepped outside her home in the Eagle Rock neighborhood amid a police search for three men who had fled a car accident.

In the footage released on Friday, police body-camera and surveillance videos show officers urging a woman to lower her weapon as they responded to the chaotic scene. The interactions highlight the tense moments leading up to the incident, where Lauren emerged with a pistol as law enforcement was on alert for the fleeing suspects.

Authorities have not yet disclosed further details about the circumstances of the shooting or the identities of the individuals involved in the car wreck. The investigation is ongoing as officers continue to gather evidence and witness statements from the area.

Lauren suffered non-life-threatening injuries and has since been recovering. She has not publicly commented on the incident at this time. The police department’s release of the video is part of a broader effort to maintain transparency during what is expected to be a lengthy investigative process.
