Mother of God. Read this title, and ask yourself, "Does this mean several policemen were shot, or does it mean several policemen shot at a house?" Why can't people write clearly? It's easy. All you need to do is ask yourself if there is any way your words can be misinterpreted.
Give them a break, they are only journalists, writing headlines for the national news, they can't seriously be expected to understand and use the correct grammar so that the headlines are not confusing or misleading, can they?
or does it mean several policemen shot at a house?
And the infinite loop begins.
