"Tornadoes kill least 21, ripping across South" or am i wrong?

Just needs an "at" before 'least' and it's proper.
"Tornadoes kill AT least 21, ripping across South" in reference to the Southeastern US which got rocked by twisters today. |

It's a simple mistake or it's awkward newspaper shorthand used because of space considerations.
