Worst Roommate Ever?

I once found a roommate online -- nice guy. Was never home on weekends. Liked gay porn a little much for my taste -- mostly because he looked at it on the desktop, in the living room -- but otherwise, it was a decent living situation.

We can't all be so lucky.

A 60-year-old woman who answered a man's online ad to share a house was shot in the face by her new roommate Saturday, shortly after she unpacked her belongings in his Slidell home, authorities said.

The woman was seriously injured, the homeowner is in jail and investigators are baffled as they search for a motive.

McCullough shot the woman three times with a small-caliber handgun; two bullets hit her in the face and one hit her neck, O'Neil said. The woman was able to drive away and call 911, but eventually crashed into a ditch where she was found by emergency medical workers, who took her to NorthShore Regional Medical Center.

But don't worry, there's an upbeat ending to this story.

The woman, whose name was not released, was shot in her face and neck but her injuries are not life-threatening, Slidell police Capt. Kevin O'Neil said Monday.

Not life threatening?! Seriously? Shot twice in the face and once in the neck, and her injuries aren't life threatening? What the hell? Was he using a cap gun?
