The story isn't funny at all, but that headline, has the job of "copy editor" been abolished?

1. It was a deadly ambush..

The other trooper died--although the one in question obviously did not.

3. I know what actually happened. The headline is perhaps the worst botched news headline ever.

2. The Editor has been watching too many old films.

This will no doubt be added to the book of worst headlines ever. No intent by me to mock the death of the trooper. But as WS pointed out, that headline is just bad.

I wish there were more details on the shooting but police probably don't have much to go on. It sounds like they may not have seen the shooter.

4. Maybe the writer has been watching too many zombie shows. nt

5. Story awful, but headline author gets the Chuck Toad Journalism (?) Award.

(The question mark is part of the official name of the award. I know because I just made up the name.)

6. It'll probably be fixed soon.
