AP story about cop gun mishandling: "One of the bullets nicked a bit of floor tile into the leg of a man who was washing his hands nearby. That man was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment."

Presumed AP story about citizen gun mishandling: "One of the shots fired by the gunman put an innocent bystander in the hospital, where he underwent surgery to remove the fragments from his leg."

(Don't you just love the passive voice where the bullet is the actor, and the minimizing effect of the words "nicked" and "a bit" in the story!)
