The Colorado-based Gazette has responded to questions about why the first report of the detonation of an explosive device originally indicated that it happened outside a Colorado Springs barbershop.
Initially, the Gazette reported on a “possible” explosion as evidenced by the permalink.
The title of the original story changed from “Possible explosion heard outside Colorado Springs barbershop” to “FBI looking for man regarding explosion near Colorado Springs NAACP office.”
As evidenced by adiagram of the building also provided by the Colorado Gazette, the initial title is clearly a better reflection of the incident.
When asked about the title change on Twitter, the Gazette responded by saying that it is "not uncommon for us to change articles that are a working story. We got more details."
When pressed about the details, the Gazette responded, "Law enforcement, including FBI, acknowledged NAACP could be target.
'We keep all possibilities open,' agent said."
At the time of this writing, the Gazette has not responded to questions about why the FBI and local law enforcement believed that the NAACP "could be" a target.
