This is one of the stranger online retail mix-ups we've seen.
Seth Horvitz, a regular guy who lives in Washington D.C., ordered a television from a third-party on Amazon. He never received it.
Instead, he got a semi-automatic assault rifle on his doorstep, reports FOX 5.
He called police about it, and they showed up to confiscate the SIG716. It's illegal to transport a weapon across the D.C. line.
It turns out that the weapon was meant for a gun shop in Pennsylvania. The shipping label on the box had Horvitz's information on it though.
