guns

Tragedy struck in a Jacksonville community when two young men opened fire in a school bus and shot two students. 

But then this happened.

Yikes.

That's a sticker advertisement (placed on the front page of each issue) for an upcoming gun show, offering discounted admission to those interested. In a statement from a Times-Union Audience Relationship representative, the paper formally apologized for what has to be the worst case of coincidental timing imaginable. 

Michael Smith of Maine just wanted to warn some local contractors to get off his property on a Tuesday morning. But after the workers mistook his gun tattoo for the real deal the police were at his house with armed backup in the driveway. Another friendly reminder to think about your tattoo choices, folks.
