Question: irony or coincidence?

Sad: the rampage by a mentally ill gunman in Tucson, AZ, last week.

Coincidence: the ABC affiliate in Tucson is KGUN9.

Irony: well, actually, this is not irony, which means "an outcome of events contrary to what was, or might have been, expected."

Perhaps, it simply reflects the common attitude of people of Tucson towards fire arms, evident by the turnout at the gun show this week. But since I never lived in Tucson, this generalization is likely wrong or too harsh. I don't intend on find out though. In any case, I cannot imagine having a station in San Francisco calling itself KGUN or KNIF.
