It sounds like a bulletin was indeed circulated, and it sounds like the WSJ is being pretty candid about the law enforcement response:

The WSJ is not going to have first hand access to the evidence, so they have to report (transparently!) what they're told by credible sources. In this case, it sounds like law enforcement
supposed to be credible
is not. It's a pretty tricky thing to report on.
Yeah, it's a funny thing. When you fire 1500 FBI agents because the previous administration assigned them to investigate your crimes and you're mad at them for not refusing, you bully hundreds more into quitting, and then you make it clear to the survivors they'll be fired if the results of their investigations don't support your political agenda... Well, the officers who stick around aren't the most competent, that's all.
But Lord, if there's anything that highlights the hypocrisy of the gun-fellating right, the fact they claim to be these he man gun owners but are so unfamiliar with how a bullet is supposed to look that they claimed a manufacturer's marks were trans propaganda...
but WSJ ran with it.
Can you believe, once upon a tine long long ago The Wall Street Journal actually had integrity in journalism.
Now it's a billionaire's plaything.
Honestly, been alive for forty plus years now and no, they've never had integrity in journalism.
My shocked Pikachu face is shocked at this shocking shock.
Wall Street Murdoch not wrong! Clicks go up!
