It's sad that The Onion has had to let all their proofreaders go.
It’s headline grammar. It’s deliberate
That doesn't sound like headline grammar to me. You wouldn't introduce confusion about who is doing the shooting on purpose, I don't think.
Do you have any other examples of it being used this way? "By Pretending Shot In Ear Again" is what I would have expected.
