The interpretations are evolving:

Justice official: No reading of Miranda rights

The public safety exception permits law enforcement officials to engage in a limited and focused unwarned interrogation of a suspect and allows the government to introduce the statement as evidence in court. The public safety exception is triggered when police officers have an objectively reasonable need to protect the police or the public from immediate danger.

As I read it, you are correct and this AP story is in error.
