I don't usually click on links in forums (or e-mails) that have no explanation of what it goes to...and others who are security minded think likewise

but after I click quote I see that that links says


Deputies-shoot-kill-man-after-knocking-on-wrong-door

so I assume that's what the "oops" means.

A bit of text would be friendlier to those of us reluctant to click the unknown ;-)

From story at above link:
LAKE COUNTY, Fla. -

Lake County Sheriff's Office deputies shot and killed a man they assumed was an attempted murder suspect on Sunday, but they now know they shot the wrong man.

Officials said the deputies did not identify themselves because of safety reasons.

"When we knocked on the door, the door opened and the occupant of that apartment was pointing a gun at deputies, and that's when we opened fire and killed him," Lt. John Herrell said. "Even though this subject is not the one we were looking for when he opened the door. He was pointing the gun at the deputy and if you put yourselves in the deputy's shoes. They were there to pick up someone who was wanted for an attempted homicide."
