TMZ was the first outlet to break this story, revealing that authorities were actively searching for three suspects involved in a hit-and-run incident on Tuesday, April 8. During the pursuit, one of the suspects abandoned the vehicle and fled, making their way over a freeway embankment and into a nearby residential area.
As police officers moved into the backyard of a residence where the suspect was believed to have escaped, Jillian unexpectedly appeared from a neighboring house, armed and brandishing a firearm. The officers on the scene issued multiple commands for her to drop the weapon.
Despite repeated warnings, the LAPD reported that Jillian pointed the gun at the officers, prompting them to respond with gunfire, resulting in a bullet striking her in the shoulder. Following this critical moment, she reportedly retreated back into the house, only to emerge approximately thirty minutes later alongside a second woman, identified as her babysitter, both with their hands raised in surrender to the police.
After her arrest, Jillian was transported to a medical facility to receive treatment for her injuries. Subsequently, she was booked on charges of attempted murder, and authorities confirmed the recovery of a 9-millimeter handgun from the premises, indicating a serious escalation in the situation.
This shocking news comes just days before her husband, Scott Shriner, is scheduled to perform with Weezer at the prestigious Coachella music festival, an engagement that was arranged at the last moment following the withdrawal of another artist.
