Contreras: An April 6 editorial about Robert Contreras, who was shot by police while fleeing the scene of a drive-by shooting, said that a jury awarded him $4.5 million for his injuries. In fact, the jury merely found that the police were wrong to have shot him. The $4.5-million award is part of a proposed settlement deal between lawyers for the city and lawyers for Contreras.
