People that are seeing nothing wrong with the blunder na wa for una o
The headline is talking about d recent Dallas police killing where 11 eleven officers were shot. 4 of the officers died.
So d headline should b 11 officers shot, 4 dead

Also there is no way someone can be killed yet won't be dead.

There is nothing wrong in that news report. 11 officers were probably shot dead and four other anonymous people also died. That's why a comma was put beside 'killed'. It would have been a dash (—) if the clause that followed was about the dead police officers. Punctuation says a lot, OP.
If u are current u will know that 11 police officers were shot in Dallas. Out of that number 4 died. So yes d news people made a blunder in that headline. It was suppose to b 11 officers shot, 4 dead
