>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.
>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.
