Two off-duty police officers in Nebraska’s largest city shot and killed two men in an SUV, though authorities have provided few details about the confrontation.
The two Omaha officers were working at a local business at around 2 a.m. Saturday when they opened fire on the men in the SUV, police said.

Looks like there's a chance we can get something close to the full details as to why this happened.
In other news... this article is an exact copy of this one, word for word: https://www.kob.com/news/us-and-world-news/off-duty-nebraska-police-officers-shoot-and-kill-two-men/
I'm guessing Dave Collins wrote it originally and then The AP picked it up and then it gets posted by KOB, but they just credit the AP without crediting the original journalist? Is that normal?
Not normal. I'm sure but did not look to verify, that AP is the source of the original copy.
The Slatereport one looks to be the original judging by the time that this post was created and the time that The AP put out their article.
I just think that news organizations really need to start crediting the journalists that wrote the story. Especially with generative AI on the rise.

Possible. Usually AP credits the original author if it retransmits a story, at least that's my memory.
