timezone on `date` column #45

Hello! I noticed Breonna Taylor's death is listed on March 12th, but news reports seem to say she was killed shortly after midnight on March 13th. I'm just wondering if the date column is being reported out from a certain timezone or if all the dates are based on local time. If it is in a particular timezone, I figured that could be added to the README. Thanks!

Thanks, we have now corrected the date to the 13th.
