False AP Headline: "Death of Italian Journalist Sparks Interest in Other Shootings"

Believe it or not, some people just read headlines. Here's the AP claiming: Death of Italian Journalist Sparks Interest in Other Shootings

Well this was certainly a big and tragic mess, but of course the "Italian Journalist" wasn't killed. So how can AP let a headline like this slip through?

Most likely, accidentally on purpose, that's how.

Is this possibly a wishful-thinking slip on their part? Perish the thought!

UPdate 3/14: A couple of days ago I noticed that AP had changed their headline appropriately. It's comforting to know that AP editors are so much on the ball.
