Footage released by the LAPD shows Lauren Shriner, wearing a Weezer T-shirt, armed with a handgun in her garden as officers call on her to drop the weapon.

In the body cam footage, officers could be heard yelling "Ma'am we're trying to help you," "Put the gun down," and "Come out with your hands up."

Newly released police video shows a bestselling author and wife of Weezer’s bassist armed with a handgun as she was confronted by Los Angeles Police Department officers searching her Eagle Rock neighborhood for a trio of hit-and-run suspects earlier this month.
