Reporter gets it wrong, again

Todays paper has a story of a teenager who earns some extra cash by shooting mistletoe from trees. ' Photo clearly shows him aiming a Browning .22 Auto (a rather distinctive design).  The first sentence of the write-up states, Jay Matthews put the SHOTGUN to his shoulder and fired a single shot high into the branches of a tree".   :roll:

He probably could have stood there with a broomstick painted black and hollored bang and the reporter would have reported it as being a gun. :-D  :)  :-D  :)  :D
