Reuters [SRC] [REF]

[4/25/2008]-Reuters released an article under the highly misleading title of "NY police cleared in 50-bullet wedding day shooting". They maintain this sly interpretation throughout the first paragraph.

However, later it is revealed the shootout took place at a strip club at around 4a.m. for the groom's bachelor party.

Though it may be seen technically as his "Wedding Day," the title and first paragraph lead the reader to believe it was a shootout at a wedding, or invoking much more negative sentiment towards the NYPD than is due.

I imagine the premise of the entire wedding party having an old style shootout with the police is a much more exciting prospect for a news article, but this just isn't the case.
