The wife of Weezer bassist Scott Shriner was shot by cops during a wild chase in L.A., TMZ has learned ... and then she was booked for attempted murder.

California Highway Patrol and LAPD officers responded to a hit-and-run Tuesday afternoon on a freeway winding through the Eagle Rock neighborhood of Los Angeles. Three suspects fled the scene on foot -- one bailed out of his vehicle, climbed over a freeway embankment and ended up on a residential street.

The suspect stripped off some of his clothing, trying to blend into the neighborhood -- it didn't work.

As cops scoured the area, officers went into the back yard of a house where the suspect had fled. Scott's wife, Jillian Lauren emerged from the couple's house, next door ... gun in hand. It's unclear whether she fired.

Officers yelled at her to drop the weapon, but cops say she ignored multiple commands -- and LAPD says she then pointed her weapon at officers. They fired, striking her shoulder. She then ran back into the house.

Thirty minutes later, Lauren and her babysitter emerged from the house with their hands up, and surrendered to cops.

Law enforcement tells TMZ, Lauren was taken to a hospital and treated for a non-life-threatening gunshot wound, and later booked for attempted murder. Los Angeles Police say officers recovered a 9-millimeter handgun at the residence.

The original suspect was apprehended ... the other 2 are still on the loose.

Lauren has led a colorful life ... she wrote a book, "Some Girls: My Life in a Harem," which chronicles her time as a "guest" of the Prince of Brunei.

Jokes aside, it sounds like she heard a commotion in an adjacent yard and she came out of her house with a gun in hand. Then, “according to the cops” she pointed her gun at them so they shot her.

What’s the over under on all of their body cams not working that day? I guarantee Mr Weezer has cameras all over his house.
