Joan Vollmer Burroughs was shot through the forehead in a cantina in Mexico City by her husband and author William S Burroughs. The couple were playing "William Tell", a trick they had done previously with better results. Needless to say Burroughs missed the apple that was balanced on his wife's head. The authorites, while wishing to charge the writer with murder, realised that they would have a difficult case giving Burroughs time to flee the country to the sanctuary of Tangiers.
