Concur, that was the headline and used in the summary. Then the words deeper in the report seemed to switch to the passive voice with a different meaning: “will be murdered”.
But, if in a street fight 5 are shooting at 5, and 2 die, were not all 10 attempting to murder? All 25 in the two gangs?
Absolutely, though not in the most technical sense as in “determined ahead of time to kill someone.”
