Front page headline: “Men threatened with gun while working on one of them’s car”
This Flickr user took a photo of an unfortunate front page typo in The Daily Tribune of Cartersville, Georgia. See below. This blog picked it up and also found the apology written by the paper’s managing editor. The editor writes:
