A woman, identified as Jillian, then allegedly came out of her home with a handgun.

The 51-year-old writer was allegedly told several times to drop her weapon, which she refused and pointed it at officers.

She was then shot in an undisclosed area and rushed into her home.

Jillian later exited and was treated for her non-life-threatening gunshot wound at a local hospital. She was ultimately booked for attempted murder.

Reps for Jillian weren’t immediately available to Page Six for comment.
