The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) said on Wednesday that the wife of Weezer bassist Scott Shriner was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after allegedly pointing a gun at police officers from her yard.

The California Highway Patrol (CHP) was in search of three suspects from a misdemeanor hit-and-run in the northeast Los Angeles neighborhood of Eagle Rock on Tuesday. One of the suspects was being chased through a backyard when police encountered 51-year-old Jillian Shriner, who was in the front yard of a neighboring residence with a gun in her hand.
