AP is a news cooperative. Member news organizations get to use stories written by AP newsmen as well as stories by other member news organizations. They can use the AP writer's byline or not, add their own reporter's byline or use only their byline. AP bureaus have newsmen on duty 24 hours a day. This story could have been edited later by someone from AP who added enough to add their byline to the story. To the jackass who downvoted me for explaining how the bylines and headlines work with AP, you are a jackass and you can't change plain facts. AP stories change throughout the 24 hour day. Bylines depend on who contributed to the story or even just who is posting the story.

Nothing really going on here.
