A story in last week's issue about a congressional hearing sparked by the Sean Bell case stated that a May 2 incident in which Chief Douglas Zeigler, the NYPD's highest-ranking black officer, was confronted by two Police Officers, escalated after "the officers drew their guns when they saw Chief Zeigler's firearm." This description was based on a statement by U.S. Rep. Gregory Meeks at the May 12 hearing that the two officers "drew their weapons," a claim that had also been made a day earlier by retired NYPD Capt. Eric Adams.

A Police Department spokesman said last week, however, that those claims are erroneous: no weapons were drawn by the responding officers. One of them has been placed on modified duty for allegedly being discourteous in his dealings with Chief Zeigler.
