• Posted on: North Richmond drive-by shooting kills one, ends peaceful streak

  Thank you for your comment. We changed some of the story accordingly, including the lede photo and an editor's note at the top of the text. We hope this gives readers a better understanding of the story and its context. Unfortunately, a representative from the Contra Costa County Sheriff's Dept. could not be reached before the story was published online. #

  Thank you for your feedback. There are differing accounts of what happened to Uriah Dach. The change was minor and done in an effort to report the story as accurately as possible. #

  Thank you for your feedback. We did not mean to assign intent to the death with the use of the word "killed." However, since we do understand that it could certainly be misinterpreted, we have changed the word in the lede from "killed" to "died." #
