Weezer bassist Scott Shriner’s wife, Jillian Shriner, was shot by cops and booked for attempted murder after interfering with a wild police chase in Los Angeles.

On Tuesday afternoon, the Los Angeles Police Department responded to a hit-and-run on a freeway near the Eagle Rock neighborhood, according to a press release obtained by Page Six.

Three suspects involved fled the scene and headed toward a residential neighborhood where cops quickly barricaded off the area.

A woman, identified as Jillian, then allegedly came out of her home with a handgun.

The 51-year-old writer was allegedly told several times to drop her weapon. However, she refused and pointed it at officers.

She was then shot in an undisclosed area and ran into her home.

Jillian was later treated for her non-life-threatening gunshot wound at a local hospital and booked for attempted murder.

Her reps weren’t immediately available to Page Six for comment.

Jillian is a New York Times Bestselling author with several titles, including her 2010 novel “Some Girls: My Life in a Harem” and her 2023 book “Behold the Monster: Confronting America’s Most Prolific Serial Killer.”

In 2005, she married Scott, 59, and they adopted two kids together.

Jillian often shares glimpses of her life via social media, including of herself with her family and promoting her books.

In March, the novelist revealed that she was battling cancer.

At the time, she shared a photo of herself in a hospital bed, captioning it, “I have a little bit of the C word y’all. I know a lot of us do.

“I’m here to thank the incredible oncology team here, who pulled me through a complicated operation without a hitch.”

Jillian explained she was “always so grateful” for the “excellent medical care” she received.
