Who shot the Strickland?
A sub-headline on a front-page story
today contained a major error, incorrectly saying that Peyton
Strickland of Durham was killed by UNC-Wilmington officers last
weekend.
As the story correctly reported, Strickland was shot
and killed by New Hanover County sheriff’s deputies; the sheriff’s
department thus far has refused to identify them.
The News
& Observer regrets the error and apologizes to UNC-Wilmington and
its police officers. We will publish a front-page correction in the
print edition Thursday in a spot as prominent as the original error. We
have corrected the error on our Web site.
