Maybe I’m reading the headline wrong. OFFICIAL could mean a person, because it doesn’t jive with the article exactly.
You’re right. The word OFFICIAL doesn’t jive. They have the suspected weapon, it’s been sent to the lab, and it’s consistent with the wound that killed Maria. LOL. This article says the authorities won’t confirm it’s a crowbar, then it says, “the crowbar has been sent”...
I think they meant a person from the way I’m reading it.
