Last week was a whirlwind for Weezer's Scott Shriner. The bassist's wife, Jillian Lauren Shriner, was shot by police during a shootout on April 8, and then arrested for attempted murder. On April 10, she was released from jail on a $1 million bond, and fans were wondering if the band would still perform at Coachella over the weekend as planned. That same day, Scott confirmed that Weezer would play their set. And on Saturday (April 12), they did.
The 12-song set was heavy on the Blue Album and even included a cover of Metallica's "Enter Sandman," which is featured on the 2021 Metallica Blacklist tribute album.
The incident with Jillian occurred when LAPD responded to a hit-and-run on the freeway in the Eagle Rock neighborhood of Los Angeles. Three suspects fled the scene by foot, with one climbing over the freeway embankment and running through a residential street.
Officers set up barricades and blocked off streets as they searched for the suspect. The street happened to be the one the Shriners live on. According to a news release, Jillian emerged from her house with a gun in hand and after being instructed to drop her weapon, things escalated.
“Shriner then pointed the handgun at the officers; at that point, an officer-involved shooting occurred,” the news release stated.
After getting shot, Jillian ran back inside her house. Thirty minutes later, she and her babysitter came back outside and surrendered to police. Jillian was taken to the hospital and booked for attempted murder, then released on a $1 million bond on April 10.
