A lady was
filling her tank at a gas
station, smoking a cigarette, even though all
the signs say not to. The
fumes that came out of the gas tank ignited,
severely burning her
hands.

But it also lit up her arm, too!

Instead of rolling
on the ground to put it out, she panicked. She took
off running
down the street.

A police car was at the intersection where it
happened and he tried to
stop her to put out her arm, but she just kept
running and screaming.
All the officer could think of doing was to
shoot her. This took
everyone by surprise. The officer ran over to
her and put the fire out, then
called for an ambulance.

When
questioned about his course of action to stop her, the officer

said, “My only thought was to stop her. After all, she was waving a

fire-arm.”
