Piece of news the shooting victim may have (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bulletin

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'piece of news' is the definition.
'bulletin' can be an answer for 'news' (bulletin is a kind of news). I am not sure about the 'piece of' bit.

'shooting victim may have' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'have' could be 'let' (synonyms) and 'let' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'the' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bulletin that I've seen before include "Blue lint (anag.)" , "Newsletter, report" , "Newsflash" , "News report" , "Report for publication or broadcast" .)
