Yes, they changed it.

I copied and pasted the article on a doc. file which looks exactly like this:

He Gambles. He Tips Staff. He Eats Alone. All the While, He’s Stocking His Vegas Suite With Guns.

https://mobile.nytimes.com/2018/03/22/us/las-vegas-shooting-stephen-paddock.html

That's the original NYT headline I read, copied, and posted.

I did a search and that headline didn't appear which is why I posted the story.

Someone at the NYT must have noticed how their original headline didn't convey what the article was about and changed it.

And as I said, I thought the headline was so bad it should be changed.

Okay, I often wondered if the engaged in that practice of changing their own headlines on articles to get more hits.
