WANTED FOR ATTEMPTED MURDER (actual AP headline)
Linda Burnett, 23, a resident of San Diego, was visiting her inlaws, and
while
there, she went to a nearby supermarket to pick up some groceries.
Several people 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 loud
noise
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.
