boyfriend with gasoline and setting him on fire while he was in bed.
The woman, Cynthia Covington, 39, was also burned in the Saturday incident, Fulton County police Cpl. Gary Syblis said.
Bobby Thompson, 50, returned from work to the south Fulton County home the couple shared around 6:30 a.m. and went to bed, police said. For unknown reasons, Covington threw gasoline on him and lit it, Syblis said. Thompson was burned in the crotch, face and arms.
CNN ledes the story as "Woman allegedly sets boyfriend's groin on fire," as that seems to have been the specific target of the attack. The video link is on CNN's home page.
The boyfriend is in stable condition. The woman is in critical condition -- she burned herself much worse than him.
