Resolution: The complaint was resolved when the PCC negotiated the publication of the following clarification and the removal of the online article: In a report on January 20 and headlined ‘Shooting Stars', we incorrectly stated that Mark Laird set up a Twitter account to tell celebrities of his survival from gunshot wounds.
