Early Bulletin Said Ammunition in Kirk Shooting Engraved With Transgender, Antifascist Ideology; Some Sources Urge Caution

https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/charlie-kirk-shot/card/pdymd1sXXMSlVRhpvR4b

It sounds like a bulletin was indeed circulated, and it sounds like the WSJ is being pretty candid about the law enforcement response:

Law-Enforcement Officials Sow Confusion on Manhunt for Kirk Shooter / Contradictory public statements risk undermining confidence in investigation, law enforcement veterans say

https://www.wsj.com/us-news/charlie-kirk-shooting-manhunt-e7f3eae4

The WSJ is not going to have first hand access to the evidence, so they have to report (transparently!) what they're told by credible sources. In this case, it sounds like law enforcement

supposed to be credible

is not. It's a pretty tricky thing to report on.

Yeah, it's a funny thing. When you fire 1500 FBI agents because the previous administration assigned them to investigate your crimes and you're mad at them for not refusing, you bully hundreds more into quitting, and then you make it clear to the survivors they'll be fired if the results of their investigations don't support your political agenda... Well, the officers who stick around aren't the most competent, that's all.

But Lord, if there's anything that highlights the hypocrisy of the gun-fellating right, the fact they claim to be these he man gun owners but are so unfamiliar with how a bullet is supposed to look that they claimed a manufacturer's marks were trans propaganda...
