...were arrows.

Two law enforcement sources told CNN that agents quickly ran an initial search on one of the markings, including a series of arrows, which analysts initially interpreted to be a connection to the transgender community.

Well, sure, "arrows" are connected to the trans community like blue skies and puppies are connected to the trans community.

I guess they must not have been straight arrows?

This might be as good as those MS13 tattoos. I'm waiting. Or maybe we should take a poll.

Britannica has this to say:

The most widely recognized gender symbols are the circle above a cross (♀), signifying female, and the circle below an arrow pointing diagonally upward to the right (♂), signifying male. These symbols are used in various contexts, including on restroom signs, as shorthand for scientific or medical purposes, and in other instances where gender identification or representation is relevant. Increased awareness of transgender and nonbinary identities gave rise to additional gender symbols. The transgender symbol (⚧) is one such sign. It typically consists of the traditional male and female symbols joined on the circle with a third element that is a combination of an arrow and a cross, representing the blending or transcendence of conventional gender categories. The combined Venus and Mars symbol (⚥) is a bigender designation.

So if ⚧ was engraved on the shell casings, that would clearly mean something.

But I've also seen the symbol using three parallel downward left pointing arrows in a circle as a trans symbol. See https://www.etsy.com/listing/1447000200/three-arro...

But it's also the symbol of the Social Democratic Party of Germany!

And is also apparently a general antifascist symbol:
