Who Shot Mr. Burns? (2) - S7-E1
Factual error: When Chief Wiggum opens the revolver's chamber, there's 5 rounds with one open slot. In the next shot, we see the reverse end of the chamber and it's drawn in such a way to indicate those 5 rounds all have bullets in them still, meaning the empty slot is from when Maggie shot Mr. Burns. But revolvers don't eject spent shells automatically and no one handled the gun after it dropped on the floor. So the empty casing should have still been in there when Wiggum opens it up for the first time.

Factual error: Chief Wiggum visually compares a bullet taken from Homer's gun to the bullet removed from Burns and concludes that they are exactly the same. Excluding the obvious forensic violation, the bullet removed from Burns is still whole and within its casing, meaning that either Maggie took the time to remove the casing and delicately shove it in Mr Burns' bullet wound (which is dumb) or the gun fired the whole casing along with the bullet (which would have blown up the gun).

Other mistake: As Chief Wiggum is being interviewed about the fugitive, his arm is shown to be in a cast due to the police van crashing at the Krusty Burger Drive-Thru earlier on. Yet when they get to the hospital, his arm is completely fine. (00:17:30 - 00:19:00)
Answer: Willy referred to an encounter he believed he had with actual aliens, while Wiggum thought he was referring to the arcade game.
