A judge has granted a mental health diversion to Jillian Lauren, wife of Weezer bassist Scott Shriner, allowing her to avoid jail time after she fired a gun at LAPD officers.
Lauren was charged with attempted murder after allegedly firing a gun at police who were pursuing three suspects in a hit-and-run chase in April 2025. Although she was not connected to the incident, she opened fire on officers when they entered her property during the manhunt. Body camera footage captured officers repeatedly ordering Lauren to drop her weapon; when she racked her gun, they returned fire and wounded her.
According to the Los Angeles Times, L.A. County Superior Court Judge Susan J. DeWitt granted Lauren’s mental health diversion under the condition that she must not own firearms, avoid the use of drugs and alcohol, and attend therapy. If she successfully complies with the terms for two years, the charges against her will be dismissed.
