Monday's "Our Opinion" titled, "Fatal shootings by police need broader review," contained three errors.

The number of "deadly force investigations" by the attorney general's office since 1990 has been 75, not 72.

Of those, 39 resulted in deaths, not 72.

The deaths included two ruled suicide by the attorney general's office.

Also, Rep. Donald Pilon is a Democrat, not a Republican.

Despite the lower number of deaths from the use of deadly force by police, we continue to stand by the editorial's conclusion that the legislative proposal to establish a review panel for deadly force incidents deserves serious consideration by lawmakers this session.
