ORIGINAL POST FOLLOWS:
A poorly placed back-to-school campaign sign was apparently spotted above a gun rack at a Walmart store.
Twitter user @ismailkidd tweeted out a photo of the sign, which urged children to "own the school year like a hero." The sign was seen in the sports section of a Walmart on Wednesday.

Given U.S. history with mass shootings at schools, many found the sign to be offensive and incredibly problematic.

The account also tweeted that a manager "confirmed there was no such sign" at the location where the sign allegedly appeared. It appears as if Walmart is still attempting to track down where the sign was located. Given Walmart has over 4,000 locations across the country, this is likely no easy task. It appears as if the photo first emerged on Reddit on Wednesday.

A spokesperson for Walmart issued the following statement to Mashable.
What’s seen in this photograph would never be acceptable in our stores. We regret this situation and are looking into how it could have happened.
The back-to-school campaign was launched in mid July, and clearly was not supposed to be placed above the gun rack. It is unclear if the sign was placed there by a manager or employee, or possibly by a prankster customer.
Regardless, people were not pleased by the image.
