WHAT THE EDITOR DID
The second model checked the writer's draft against the same sources and changed it before publication. Struck words were in the draft; underlined words are its corrections.
WHAT IT FLAGGED editor revise: Narrow the attribution so the no-fatalities claim is credited only to The Gazette. - "No injuries or fatalities were reported, according to AP News, ABC News and The Gazette.": The supplied AP News and ABC News headlines report no injuries but do not report that there were no fatalities; only The Gazette headline supports both parts of the claim.
