The Wall Street Journal has significantly walked back its initial reporting on the ammunition allegedly used in the Kirk shooting.
Yesterday, it published a story with the headline:
Ammunition in Kirk Shooting Engraved With Transgender, Antifascist Ideology: Sources
Today, the story has a new headline that makes it clear it shouldn't have run the story in the first place:
Early Bulletin Said Ammunition in Kirk Shooting Engraved With Transgender, Antifascist Ideology; Some Sources Urge Caution
The "sources" say the letters TRN stamped on the shells are evidence that the shooter was a trans-activist. However, evidence from the Cartridge Collectors website shows these same markings commonly appear on Turkish ammunition, suggesting a mundane manufacturing origin rather than ideological significance.
