Sort of copied a sentence from the second section in the opening section edit

The first paragraph of the article reads as thus (footnote removed):

He was ambushed and killed by Sheriff deputies in 1901.

I changed it to the following:

He was ambushed and killed by Sheriff E. S. Briant and his deputies in 1901.

This is partly the same as a sentence from this section (footnote removed):

He was shot and killed in Jack Owens' Bakery the night of April 2, 1901 in Sonora, Texas, by Sheriff E. S. "Lige" Briant and his deputies.

Sorry to partly quote that verbatim. Could anyone please tell me if I was wrong to do this?--Thylacine24 (talk) 23:36, 14 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
