3. Per NYTimes, "Bella Ciao" was "written" (not engraved) on one of the bullets found with the gun.

Officials say the cartridges found with the gun contained messages.
The authorities said the cartridges found with the gun that they said the suspect used to kill Mr. Kirk also had written messages on them.

One of those cartridges contained the words “Bella ciao,” Mr. Cox said on Friday. That is an apparent reference to an Italian antifascist song.

Mr. Cox said that an engraving on an unfired cartridge read, “Hey, fascist! Catch!” Another message said, “If you read this, you are gay LMAO,” an abbreviation for “laughing my ass off.”
