Weezer will go through with its gig at the Coachella music festival this weekend after Los Angeles police wounded bassist Scott Shriner’s wife, a source close to the band told NBC News on Thursday.
The venerable rock band is still scheduled to play its show at the Mojave stage at 3:10 p.m. Saturday — about 96 hours after officers shot author Jillian Shriner.
It wasn't immediately clear whether the band's scheduled appearance will include Scott Shriner, its veteran bass player.
Law enforcement officers had rushed to the Eagle Rock neighborhood of Los Angeles, just north of downtown, looking for three people who had jumped out of a car involved in a hit-and-run on the nearby Ventura Freeway.
Police scouring the neighborhood came upon Jillian Shriner, who was armed, in her yard, and she didn't immediately comply with officers' orders to drop her weapon, authorities said.
Jillian Shriner, who played no role in the hit-and-run incident, was then shot in the shoulder before she was taken to hospital and booked on suspicion of attempted murder.
It still wasn't clear Thursday whether she'd hired or been assigned a criminal defense attorney.
Shriner is a journalist and the author of several books, including “Behold the Monster: Confronting America’s Most Prolific Serial Killer.”
