A woman and a man doused an exotic dancer with flammable liquid and set her on fire outside the L.A. club where she works on Thursday morning, burning more than 60 percent of her body.

The victim, who is 27 and has two children, ran back inside and was helped by other patrons. Police are searching for the two attackers for investigation of attempted murder. “Given the condition of this victim, they may be responsible for ultimately her murder,” said Deputy Police Chief Michel Moore. “This is a terrible, terrible attack.” [Associated Press]
