WANTED
FOR ATTEMPTED MURDER
(the
actual AP headline)
Linda
Burnett, 23, a resident of San Diego, was visiting her inlaws,
and
while there went to a nearby supermarket to pick up some groceries.
Severalpeople
noticed her sitting in her car with the windows rolled up and with her
eyes
closed, with both hands behind the back of her head. One customer who
had
been at the store for a while became concerned and walked over to the car.
He
noticed that Linda's eyes were now open, and she looked very strange. He
asked
her
if she was okay, and Linda replied that she'd been shot in the back
of
the head, and had been holding her brains in for over an hour. The
man
called the paramedics, who broke into the car because the doors were locked
and
Linda refused to remove her hands from her head.
When
they finally got in, they found that Linda had a wad of bread dough
on
the back of her head. A Pillsbury biscuit canister had exploded from the
heat, making a
loudnoise
that sounded like a gunshot, and the wad of dough hit her in the back
of
her head. When she reached back to find out what it was, she felt the dough
and
thought it was her brains. She initially passed out, but quickly
recovered
and tried to hold her brains in for over an hour until someone noticed
and
came
to her aid.
And,
yes, Linda is a blonde.
