Weezer Bassist Scott Shriner's Wife Shot During L.A. Police Chase, Authorities Say
'Ma'am, we're trying to help you. Put the gun down,' someone is heard saying. 'You're going to get shot. It's the police.'
'Oh, she racked it,' another voice said before the sound of gunshots followed.
After the shooting, Lauren was taken to a local hospital to be treated for 'non-life-threatening injuries.' There, she was booked on an attempted murder charge. The day after the shooting, she posted a million-dollar bond and was said to be 'alive and well,' her manager told The Hollywood Reporter. Lauren is expected to appear in court on Wednesday.
In another surveillance video, the best-selling author was seen walking around outside her home with a pistol in her right hand. Additional footage was shown of her walking around the outside of her house before the shooting took place alongside a separate video of Lauren lying face down in the road being handcuffed.
She was not involved in the hit-and-run, though police said they captured one of the suspects involved in the crime.
Lauren's best-selling memoir, Some Girls: My Life in a Harem, recounts her experience as part of the Prince of Brunei's harem. She's also the author of the 2020 novel Behold the Monster: Confronting America's Most Prolific Serial Killer, which details her relationship with serial killer Samuel Little. One year later, she appeared in the Starz docuseries about Little.

LA detectives release photo of sexual assault suspect, ask for additional victims to step forward
The Los Angeles Police Department released a photo of a sexual assault suspect officers arrested in May, hoping it would spur additional victims to step forward. Detectives said Jean Junior Dar, 42, allegedly drugged and sexually assaulted three men in their mid-20s. Investigators said in each case, Dar met the victims at a bar and invited them to an after-party at his Marina Del Rey home. After arriving, Dar allegedly gave the victims a drink that incapacitated them before the 42-year-old allegedly sexually assaulted them, according to the LAPD. The Los Angeles District Attorney's Office charged Dar with two felony counts of sexual assault. He was released after posting bail. Court records showed that Dar was arraigned in 2021 for nine misdemeanors related to unauthorized practice of law and grand theft. Detectives believe there may be additional victims who have not come forward. LAPD urged anyone with information that could lead to the identification of additional victims or witnesses to contact the West Bureau's Special Assault Section at (213) 473-0447. Officers urged callers to use the number 1(877) 527-3247 outside of business hours. Anyone wishing to stay anonymous can call LA Crime Stoppers at 1(800) 222-8477 or through their website
