A US author – the wife of Weezer bassist Scott Shriner – has been shot and arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.

Jillian Lauren, 51, was left with non-life threatening injuries after the shooting in Eagle Rock, northeast Los Angeles, in California, on Wednesday.

The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) said it had been assisting California Highway Patrol officers in their search for three suspects from a hit-and-run incident.
