Los Angeles police have released video from the shooting of author and celebrity wife Jillian Lauren during a chaotic backyard confrontation that culminated in a volley of gunfire.

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."

Now, the LAPD has shed some further light on the incident, releasing body cam footage and security camera video that both shows police officers converging on what became a small stand-off, as well as Lauren holding a gun while walking around her backyard,
