This was on the news today.
A 42 year old woman was pumping gas. After she finished,
she walked in and paid for it before going back to her vehicle.
Now once there the news report said she lit a cigarette not realizing
that she had gas on her hands. She had to have smelled it but must
have thought it was coming from outside.
In an instant, her hand and arm ignited!!! She was on fire!!!!
Right about the same time a cop rode through the gas station right in
front of her. She must have noticed him despite the excrutiating pain
she was suffering and started flailing her burning arms at the cop,
motioning him to come help her.
When the cop saw this he jumped out of the car and ran over to her.
When he then got to the window he noticed her arms were on fire
as she was desperately trying to extinguish herself.
The cop threw the driver door open, took 2 steps back,
pulled out his revolver and shot the woman 3 times.
Once in the shoulder and twice in the head.
She died on the scene.
Once the news got word of this terrible thing that happened
they came out and was able to speak with the distraught cop.
When asked why he shot her he said.......
She was waving a (firearm) at me!!!!!!!!
LOL....Get it?......a Fire-Arm
