Subject: Attempted Murder
WANTED FOR ATTEMPTED MURDER (The actual AP headline)
Linda Burnett, 23, was visiting her inlaws, and while there 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.
