Anybody's local papers still running the flawed statistics report?

AP Corrects Crime Statistics Story

Tuesday October 22, 2002 9:50 PM

WASHINGTON (AP) - In a Sept. 8 story on 2001 federal crime statistics, The Associated Press reported that injuries from assaults fell 13 percent. That figure was only for aggravated assaults. Injuries from simple assaults fell 15.9 percent. Also, the AP reported 26 percent of criminals used a gun to commit their crimes. The actual figure is 9 percent.

That's a pretty BIG error.

They probably switched the bladed weapons and gun %ages, since they didn't like the difference....
