The Shooting Photo That Wasn't
Yesterday about this time, or earlier, thousands were posting or linking to a photo of what was purported to be a victim of the Navy Yard shooting, prone on a nearby sidewalk. It was the first image that most--nearly all--people saw. There were actually two photos, via Tim Hogan, one of them at left. Now it turns out--the photos captured a unrelated drama. Not the shootings. Apologies, including from AP, offered.
