No. The article says the number wounded is likely in the hundreds. The headline is exaggerating a tragic event.

Let's not split hairs between dead or wounded. Getting wounded while starving and no hospitals functioning and everyone around you has dysentery dooms someone to a very slow, very painful death.

I'm not splitting hairs over dead vs wounded.

The headline says thousands were gunned down (dead and wounded: total casualties), but the article says combined dead and wounded are in the hundreds.

I'm "splitting hairs" over the headline exaggerating an already horrific event by an order of magnitude.
