Regret the Error

A June 22 article about G8 security measures in Huntsville incorrectly said that resident Steve Groomes has a gun at the ready should protestors get by the army of police and soldiers scouring the brushes. In fact, what Groomes said in a jovial way was that: “I’ve got an Easton 32 in the house.” The Easton 32 is a baseball bat not a gun. The Star apologizes to Groomes for this misunderstanding. Link

And (amazingly):

We mistakenly said that he was charged with possessing a hand gun at Dolan’s Pub, Sunday’s Gate and we wish to point out that the actual charge is producing a wooden bat in the course of a dispute.

Thanks, Doug!
