Open mouth, insert foot. Did you mean "open mouth, insert fin"?

It is an easy interpretive error. What I first read “A Texas grandmother shot dead” I thought as you did.
Then, finishing the headline, you realize she shot dead the robber.
It’s a common British usage, not so common in the USA.

A Texas grandmother shot deadNo the story was written incorrectly. More ignorance in jotting down text that's called "journalism" and printed somewhere and called "an article/headline" (in this case all 3.)
