Weezer bᴀssist Scott Shriner’s wife, Jillian Lauren, revealed that she is battling cancer – only weeks before being sH๏τ by L.A. police and charged with attempted murder on Tuesday.
The author, 51 – who tied the knot with the musician in 2005 – had allegedly chased a suspect involved in a hit-and-run who had ran onto her property with a gun.
However, she was sH๏τ in the shoulder by law enforcement who claimed she pointed the gun at cops and refused to drop the weapon following multiple commands to do so.
Lauren – who told officers she was simply trying to defend her home from the suspect – was then transported to a nearby hospital and treated for ‘a non-life-threatening gunsH๏τ wound.’
The incident comes shortly after Jillian had shared a post to her main Instagram page last month in March to announce that she has cancer and is undergoing treatment.
She uploaded a pH๏τo of herself with a smile on her face while resting on a hospital bed and flashed a thumbs up towards the camera.

While Lauren did not disclose the kind of cancer she has, the author penned in the caption: ‘I’d like to thank the Academy, my amazing hair and makeup team, and the lighting designers here at #glendaleadventisthospital.
‘As if they all hadn’t been through enough with the fires right next door! Yes, I have a little bit of the C word y’all. I know a lot of us do.’
She added, ‘I’m here to thank the incredible oncology team here, who pulled me through a complicated operation without a hitch. I am always so grateful for every second of the compᴀssionate, and excellent medical care I receive in my life.
‘Thank you to all the remarkable health care workers, who take our lives in your hands. And let’s all breathe,’ Jillian concluded.
The writer later gave an update to her fans late last month as she shared a selfie inside what appeared to be a bedroom.
‘Three weeks now. Two back to back surgeries including a full hysterectomy,’ she began. ‘I feel called upon to mention it, because i know only two people who had this procedure and neither is with us today.
‘They weren’t here for me to call, and ask what to expect. I’m saying: I’m here. Ask me. I’m okay and healing today.’
Lauren added, ‘And look at this beautiful beam of light, this new journal I got, the baby yellow – bellied finches outside my bedroom window.’
‘As if they all hadn’t been through enough with the fires right next door! Yes, I have a little bit of the C word y’all. I know a lot of us do,’ she wrote

She then gave a special shoutout to her family that ‘supports’ her and also tagged husband Scott Shriner.
‘That’s my story today. I thank you for your overwhelming support, and I love most of you. Kidding. I love you all. May we all be well tonight.’

This week on Tuesday, Lauren was charged with attempted murder for pointing her gun at a man outside her L.A. home.
The man had previously been involved in a three-car crash on the 134 Freeway around 3pm but fled the scene alongside two other male suspects.
While hiding from officers who set up a perimeter in the area, the man stripped down to his boxer shorts before jumping in a resident’s swimming pool and watering some plants in a bizarre attempt to blend into the neighborhood.
Novelist Lauren then exited her home with a gun pointed at the suspect who had invaded her property, though it is unclear whether she actually fired the weapon.
Police said they gave her multiple commands to drop the weapon, before an officer fired at her, hitting her in the shoulder.
Lauren ran back inside her house before re-emerging a short time later with her babysitter by her side. They were both seen with their hands raised, as officers ordered them down the driveway, where they were arrested without incident.
At that point, Lauren allegedly told officers she was simply trying to defend her home from the suspect running through the neighborhood, according to CBS News. The man was also taken into custody.

She was absentee booked on suspicion of attempted murder while being taken to a nearby medical facility by paramedics with the Los Angeles Fire Department, the Los Angeles Times reports.
Medical professionals examined her for what was described as ‘a non-life-threatening gunsH๏τ wound’ following the violent series of events.
It is unclear whether Shriner was involved in the shocking incident ahead of his appearance at Coachella.
Meanwhile, the driver of the car that crashed in the hit-and-run was detained by California Highway Patrol officers, cited and released.
Police said that they took a 9-millimeter handgun from Lauren’s home upon examining the abode in the wake of the saga that played out in Southern California.
A woman involved in the three-vehicle crash the man and two other male suspects fled from also suffered moderate injuries and was taken to the hospital, police said.
Officers added that Lauren had nothing to do with the initial hit-and-run. Lauren and her babysitter have since been released from police custody, as LAPD’s Force Investigation Division probes the police-involved shooting, according to KTLA.
Meanwhile, the remaining two suspects who fled the multi-car crash remain at large.
Dailymail.com has reached out to the LAPD for additional comment.

Two witnesses explained to KTLA that they saw the man who invaded Lauren’s neighborhood fleeing the scene. Brother and sister Alana Altmeyer and Guy Binn said the man was walking on the shoulder away from the three-way crash.
When they then gave chase, the man tried to run to the opposite side of the freeway and fell, according to Altmeyer. ‘He was bleeding from his head, his mouth and his knees,’ she said.
Still, the suspect was somehow able to jump over the side of the freeway and ran down an embankment as Binn said he tried to keep up. ‘I chased him down the side of the freeway, over a couple of fences.
‘He had a bag and a sweater. I got his bag. I got his sweater, and me being so old, I couldn’t keep up with the guy. I chased him to the park, and I lost him.’
LA police officers tracked the man down to the intersection of Waldo Place and Eagle Vista in the Eagle Rock neighborhood of Los Angeles, after which he started his bizarre blending-in maneuver that caused Lauren to point her gun at him when he came onto her property.
Lauren and 90s rock star Scott married in 2005 and they have two adopted children together.
Beyond her marriage to Scott, Lauren has found fame on her own after penning a series of memoirs and true crime books.
In 2010, she published a memoir ‘Some Girls: My Life in a Harem’ detailing the 18 months she was part of the harem of Prince Jefri Bolkiah of Brunei alongside 24 other women in the 1990s.
She said she was showered with jewelry, designer clothes and bags stuffed with cash. At the time, her memoir sparked huge media attention for its unfiltered glimpse at Brunei’s vast wealth and exploitation.

In her second book, ‘Everything You Ever Wanted’ published in 2015, Lauren detailed her experience adopting a child from Ethiopia, and struggling with motherhood and trauma.
Lauren has also previously worked as a crime reporter, and was involved in investigating the serial killer Samuel Little, one of the most prolific murderers in US history.
In ‘Behold the Monster’, investigative journalist Lauren writes of Little’s confessions to her, including the chilling admission that ‘it felt like being in love’ after being asked why he had murdered 93 women.
After getting away with murder for far too long, Little had at last been convicted and given four life sentences without possibility of parole, later raised to six.
From her first visit in 2018, Lauren would visit him every weekend.
Over two years, as she gently flattered him, plied him with sweets and fizzy drinks and put him at his ease, he would describe 86 of the murders he had committed, often doing drawings of the women he had killed.
Her book about Little was also turned into a true crime documentary series for Starz called Confronting a Serial Killer.
Lauren appeared at numerous spoken word and storytelling events across the US as well as at a TEDx Talk about adoption and idenтιтy at Chapman University in 2014.
