I believe that the ":" after the word "Deputies" denotes that the words following the colon are words that come from the deputies themselves. Not unlike the actor's lines in a stage play following the actor's name as in "Willy: " or the "Question: " and "Answer: " that open the lines on a listing of Q&As.
Hope this helps.

In each of the instances you name, the verbiage following the colon is directly associated with what is prior to the colon... so ...

Prior to the colon is the word "Deputies" and the so called "verbiage" following the colon would be what the deputies said. This would be in the example of an actors lines. To illustrate, using a line from the The Breakfast Club...

Capice?

IOW, the deputies are saying that there were two people killed in the crash. I realize it's not the best headline, grammatically, as it did cause some confusion. But I don't think it is incorrect.

Perhaps if it was wrapped in "quotes"?

I got it the first time. But then again I am multi-lingual. I understand Yankee, hillbilly, redneck, most ghetto, and illiterate.

Okay this was my bad because when I initially posted this I thought it read two deputies killed and I went back and edited it. Not that their lives are any greater than anyone elses. Now we have two more people dead in another wreck.........

One would think if one understood hillbilly, redneck and illiterate, they'd be able to decipher Soddy-Daisy. But then, I am only going by Bobby "The TNCussturd" Stanley.

There are lots of literate, well educated, upstanding folks in Soddy-Daisy. Fortunately, I can understand both dialects.

Not exactly and I'm not sure what Rapheal is talking about in his post since it WAS written that way at the original link.

Young people moving on to the spheres of light and are most beautiful. We cry! We boo hoo! But yet we have no clue of where they went. Perhaps because we are shielded from where we came from?
