NEW YORK (CNNMoney)

Later on Wednesday, the network backtracked from its original story.

At 6:34 pm, NBC Nightly News sent out a tweet of a Pete Williams report that one suspect in the Paris attack had been killed while two others were in custody. NBC cited senior U.S. officials. Williams then spoke about the report on MSNBC's "Hardball with Chris Matthews."

At 8 pm, during MSNBC's "All In" with Chris Hayes, Williams walked back the report saying, "we just don't know what the situation is in France tonight."

"We were told earlier this evening from two U.S. counterterrorism officials that one person was dead and two have been arrested," Williams said on the broadcast. "Other U.S. officials," he added, "say they haven't been told that."

The network, in a statement to CNN, said the erroneous report was based on intelligence from "two consistently reliable U.S. counterterrorism officials in different government agencies."

"As soon as it became evident that our sources doubted their information, we immediately updated our reporting across all platforms and continue to do so as this fast-moving story unfolds," an NBC News spokesperson said.

Williams' story on the NBC News website Wednesday night reported that U.S. counterterrorism officials cannot be certain what the status is of the three suspects.
