This is hectic... The wife of Weezer bassist Scott Shriner was shot by police and has since been booked for attempted murder.
The incident happened in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Eagle Rock, according to TMZ.
Police were responding to a request for backup in locating three hit-and-run suspects who fled the freeway crash scene and ran into the residential neighbourhood at around 3:25pm on Tuesday local time, according to a LAPD press release.
While officers were searching for the suspects, they observed a woman, who was later identified as Shriner's wife, Jillian, armed with a handgun outside her home.
Police yelled for her to drop the gun "numerous times" - but claim she refused.
Jillian then pointed the handgun at the officers and they opened fire. TMZ reports she was struck in the shoulder, and it's recently been reported that Jillian also fired a single shot.
Police said Jillian retreated into her residence after being shot - but later came outside and was taken into custody. She was transported to a local hospital by paramedics, where she was treated for a non-life-threatening gunshot wound.
Police disclosed they recovered a nine-millimetre handgun from her home.
She has since been booked for attempted murder.
LAPD also shared that no officers nor any of the community members were hurt during the shootout, and confirmed that Jillian was not involved in the earlier hit-and-run.
