  • Male suspect flees scene and runs through Eagle Rock neighborhood
  • Police launch a manhunt to search for the wanted man
  • Jillian comes out of her house with a handgun as police approach

Police searched the home and recovered a 9-millimeter handgun.

The driver of the car that crashed in the initial incident was also detained by California Highway Patrol officers, cited and released.

Two remaining suspects who fled the multi-car smash are yet to be found.

A witness who saw the crash unfold and tried to chase the main suspect told KTLA he was bleeding from his mouth as he fled the freeway in the afternoon.

Alana Altmeyer and her brother Guy Binn said: “I saw a gentleman walking on the shoulder. So my brother and I went over and assumed that he was leaving the scene of an accident

“He was bleeding from his head, his mouth and his knees.”

The suspect continued to run down a steep bank and through the streets near the intersection of Waldo Place and Eagle Vista in the Eagle Rock neighborhood.

Police then got a call and started a chase of their own after being tipped off that the man had stripped down to his underwear.

Officers set up a perimeter in the neighborhood only to discover he had jumped into a swimming pool in a bizarre attempt to hide.

During this time, a team of cops ran past Jillian's house as the chaos ensued.

Jillian has been married to rock icon Scott Shriner since 2005 and the pair share two adopted children.

Weezer first formed in 1992 and features Scott, lead singer and guitarist Rivers Cuomo, drummer Patrick Wilson and rhythm guitarist Brian Bell.
