00:00Weezer is still slated to play Coachella this weekend, despite bassist Scott Schreiner's wife, Jillian Lauren, getting shot by police earlier this week.
00:11Police officers shot Lauren on Tuesday as they were in pursuit of three suspects that fled during a hit-and-run, making their way to Lauren's neighborhood of Eagle Rock in Los Angeles.
00:20As authorities continued their search behind one home, they spotted Lauren outside her neighboring residence armed with a handgun.
00:27Authorities said they asked her to put her gun down multiple times, but said that she refused and pointed at them, and officers shot her.
00:33She was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and booked for attempted murder.
00:38Weezer was added to the Coachella lineup as a last-minute surprise over the weekend, alongside Ed Sheeran, as acts including FKA Twigs had to pull out of the event.
00:47The incident with Lauren had understandably raised questions on whether Weezer's set would still happen.
00:52But their Saturday afternoon set is still on.
00:55The band has yet to issue a statement on the matter.
