WANTED FOR ATTEMPTED MURDER (The actual AP headline)
Linda Burnett, 23, was visiting her in-laws, 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.
