The wife of Scott Shriner, the bassist of Weezer, was shot by police and charged with attempted murder. Accusations have surfaced that she fired her gun at police officers, revealing new details about the case.

Jillian Shriner, 51, was shot and wounded outside the Los Angeles home she shares with the rocker on Wednesday afternoon after she allegedly became caught up in an unrelated police manhunt in their neighborhood.

After she was arrested and booked for attempted murder, the Los Angeles Police Department alleges that Shriner had fired her weapon at cops during the Hollywood-style showdown, NBC News reports.

An LAPD investigation has since revealed shell casting as video footage of the ordeal showed her repeatedly refusing to comply with officers ordering her to disarm.

“Our investigation revealed evidence such as a shell casing and video footage showing she repeatedly ignored police commands to disarm and that she fired her weapon at LAPD officers,” Jennifer Forkish, LAPD Director of Communications, told the outlet.

Shriner was released after posting a $1 million bond Wednesday night, records show. Her next court hearing is set for April 30.

The saga kickstarted in the Eagle Rock neighborhood of LA Wednesday when cops were chasing down three men from a hit-and-run that took place earlier on the nearby freeway.

Police tracked down one of the suspects in a backyard — moments before coming face-to-face with Shriner on the porch of her home. She was armed with a 9-mm handgun.

After they repeatedly ordered the self-described “rocker wife” to drop her firearm, Shriner refused. Instead, she pointed her gun directly at officers, cops alleged.

An officer then opened fire and struck her in the shoulder, police said.

Aerial footage captured by KTLA’s news choppers showed her walking down her driveway with her hands in the air to surrender to cops after being struck.

She was then seen laid face-down on the ground before being cuffed by police and transported to a nearby hospital to be treated for a non-life-threatening gunshot wound.

Shriner is the author of two bestselling memoirs, 2010’s “Some Girls: My Life in a Harem” and 2015’s “Everything You Ever Wanted.”

While she hasn’t commented on the ordeal, her rocker hubby on Thursday bizarrely promoted his band’s upcoming Coachella set when asked about his wife’s condition.

“She’s alright, thank you for asking,” the 59-year-old rocker exclusively told The Post as he casually walked four dogs outside their home on Thursday.

“See you at Coachella!” he added, as he returned to the gated-home.
