Weezer bassist's wife shot by police, arrested on the street, then released for $1 million. 
The incident occurred yesterday afternoon in Southern California. It all began with a crash involving three cars. Three suspects involved in the accident jumped out of the car and began to run away. The men were pursued by police officers who quickly arrived at the scene.
Officers were able to catch up with one of the suspects at the intersection of Waldo Place and Eagle Vista in the Eagle Rock area of Los Angeles. At this time, the 51-year-old rocker's wife came out of a nearby house. Jillian Lauren was holding a gun in her hands. According to the police, they asked the woman several times to put the gun down, but she ignored their request. Then one of the officers shot her. The bullet hit her in the shoulder.
After that, the musician's chosen one disappeared into the house. However, a few minutes later, Jillian came out with her assistant with her hands up, they walked down the driveway and surrendered to the police.
The Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics took the woman to a nearby hospital. Doctors diagnosed the patient with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound. After receiving medical attention, she was taken into custody along with the nanny who was with her at the time. Lauren was charged with attempted murder.
The musician's wife is a writer by profession. A 9-millimeter pistol was found during a search of her home. During questioning, the wife of the bassist of the rock band Weezer told the police that she had nothing to do with the previous accident. According to the woman, she was simply trying to protect her home from the suspect who was running down the street.
The officers explained that they had cordoned off the area in order to catch the suspect. The culprit of the accident resorted to trickery. He stripped down to his underwear and jumped into the pool of one of the houses. After that, he began watering the plants in an attempt to pass himself off as a local resident who was not involved in the accident.
The driver was detained by the California Highway Patrol. At the police station, he was issued a fine and later released.
