Typos #41

Closed evangambit closed 3 years ago

evangambit commented 3 years ago

I sent an email August of last year to policeshootingsfeedback@washpost.com and haven't heard back, so I'm making an issue here:

  1. The dataset claims that Eduardo Navarrete was shot on 2017-08-12 in Frederickstown, WA. I believe this is a typo, and the location should be Frederickson, WA. According to this article the shooting happened in Pierce County on 189th St. Court East, which is presumably here

  2. (new) Line 5873 has "Bewster County,TX" and should be "Brewster County, TX"
