In an article in Thursday's editions, comments from City Council President Sheila Dixon were erroneously attributed to Mayor Martin O'Malley. When asked about the city's missing its goal of reducing homicides to 175 this year, it was Dixon who said: "We would have hoped to stay within that or even less than that. It just reiterates the fact that there's just much more work that we need to do. We've got our work cut out, and there's no break to be taken in this process."

The Sun regrets the error.
