Pioneer Press Newspaper - August 27, 1994

The item is a physical copy of the Pioneer Press newspaper from Saturday, August 27, 1994. The front page is heavily creased and wrinkled, indicating significant handling and storage without flattening. The paper appears to be yellowed, consistent with age and possibly exposure to light. The main headline reads "A Day of Guns and Grief," reporting on the killing of two St. Paul officers. A large photograph depicts emergency personnel tending to an individual on a stretcher. Smaller images include portraits of individuals related to the story and another photograph showing a comforting gesture. The text is printed in black ink on newsprint paper. There are sections detailing the suspect's apprehension and personal accounts related to the slain officers. The edges show signs of wear and potential tears, especially at the folds. The overall condition suggests the newspaper has not been stored in archival conditions. There are no visible maker's marks or specific manufacturing stamps other than the newspaper's masthead and date. The style is typical of American newspapers from the late 20th century, featuring a multi-column layout and a mix of large headlines and smaller text blocks.
