BOSTON (AP) – The Boston Herald on Friday apologized for publishing two graphic photos of a woman who died after being struck in the face with a pepper spray-filled projectile fired by police into a crowd of Red Sox fans.

The Herald was inundated with complaints by phone and on its Web site.

The Herald ran a color photo on its front page, and a smaller black-and-white photo inside its Friday editions, showing Victoria Snelgrove lying on the ground, bleeding from her nose and left eye.

The newspaper planned to publish the apology in its Saturday editions.

The Boston Globe ran a smaller, black-and-white photograph inside its Friday edition. The Associated Press also transmitted a color photo showing Snelgrove lying on the sidewalk.
