Jillian Lauren Shriner pleaded not guilty to felony gun charges stemming from an altercation with police last month that resulted in her getting shot and then arrested for attempted murder. As The Los Angeles Times reports, Jillian, who's married to Weezer bassist Scott Shriner, has been charged with discharge of a firearm with gross negligence and assault with a semiautomatic firearm. She faces up to 19 years in federal prison if convicted, and prosecutors are looking to apply a firearms sentencing enhancement.

The incident occurred on April 8, when LAPD responded to a hit-and-run on the freeway in the Eagle Rock neighborhood of Los Angeles. Three suspects fled the scene by foot, with one climbing over the freeway embankment and running through a residential street.

Officers set up barricades and blocked off streets as they searched for the suspect. The street happened to be the one the Shriners live on. According to a news release, Jillian emerged from her house with a gun in hand and after being instructed to drop her weapon, things escalated.

“Shriner then pointed the handgun at the officers; at that point, an officer-involved shooting occurred,” the news release states.

After getting shot, Jillian ran back inside her house. Thirty minutes later, she and her babysitter came back outside and surrendered to police. Jillian was taken to the hospital and booked for attempted murder. Jillian posted a $1 million bond on April 10 and was released from jail. She's expected to return to court on June 18 for a preliminary hearing.
