What have you to criticize about this headline?
Horrific moment naked home invader holds gun to woman's head after breaking into her home and holding her and her elderly father hostage in San Diego
It's grammatically correct, and doesn't focus on irrelevancies. Admittedly, it is a bit lurid and doesn't convey as many hard facts as could have been stated, but it is not outright absurd or confusing.
