Getting a bad haircut is a terrible experience – but, and this is important, no matter how bad your new haircut might be, you are not allowed to murder your barber.

A San Diego woman, Adrian Blanche Swain, learned that lesson on Wednesday. The 29-year-old got a haircut about 9:30 a.m. from Manny Montero.  Swain then left the 619 Barber Shop only to return 3 hours later to complain about the haircut. She then pulled out a gun, aimed it at Montero, and pulled the trigger three times, but the gun jammed, according to police.

“She said, ‘look what you did to my hair, motherf***er,’” Montero told KNSD-TV.

“She came in with a bald spot on the side, and I am like, ‘I didn’t do that.’”

“The gun had bullets but malfunctioned,” San Diego police Sgt. Ray Battrick told FOX 5.

Montero and a bystander wrestled Swain to the ground and were able to get the gun from her. Police were called and Swain was arrested.

She now faces charges of attempted murder.
