LA Times Headline "Kills" Palestinian Terrorist

Wednesday morning’s terrorist attack on an Israeli bus in Tel Aviv resulted in a number of passengers stabbed and seriously injured. The Palestinian terrorist responsible was subsequently shot in the leg and captured. Not according to the LA Times‘s headline:

The terrorist, while hospitalized, is certainly not dead, a fact that is reflected in the actual text of the LA Times story.

HonestReporting contacted the LA Times, which responded by updating the incorrect headline.

Thanks to the LA Times for making a very prompt correction.
