Weezer Will Still Play Coachella After Scott Shriner’s Wife Was Shot By Police

Despite the incident involving bassist Scott Shriner’s wife Jillian Lauren being shot by police earlier in the week, it has been confirmed by multiple sources that Weezer is still set to perform at Coachella this weekend, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter.

On Tuesday, police officers chased after three suspects involved in a hit-and-run incident, which led them to the Eagle Rock neighborhood where they encountered Lauren. While investigating further, the authorities noticed Lauren standing outside a house nearby, holding a handgun.

In this revised version, I’ve attempted to make the text more concise and easy to understand, while maintaining the original meaning. The focus is on the sequence of events and the actions taken by the police and Lauren.

Police repeatedly ordered her to drop her weapon, but she disobeyed and aimed it at them instead. Consequently, officers were forced to fire. She then retreated into her residence, re-emerging later to be apprehended. She was transported to a hospital for treatment of non-critical wounds, following which she was charged with an attempted murder offense.

During the shooting, no law enforcement officials were injured, officials reported, and one of the individuals involved in a hit-and-run incident was later apprehended by the State Police.

Over the weekend, it was unexpectedly announced that Weezer would be joining the Coachella lineup alongside Ed Sheeran. Some acts like FKA Twigs had to cancel their performances due to unforeseen circumstances. Initially, there were doubts about whether Weezer’s set would go ahead following an incident involving Lauren, but they will now perform at the Mojave tent during the afternoon on Saturday. This year’s main acts include Lady Gaga, Green Day, Post Malone, and Travis Scott, who will also be putting on a special performance.

The band hasn’t issued a statement on the matter yet, though THR has reached out for comment.
