It is written on all 9mm cartridges regardless of who manufactured the ammo. It would be hard to distinguish it from say 40 S&W ammo from across the room, but my guess is the reporter just read what was on the cartridges.

"9mm Luger" is about as specific as saying there was a 12oz soda can on his table. The details about a specific cartridge are only written on the box, but can be determined from a casing and a photo book. If he said he has "124 Gr Remmington Golden Saber 9mm Luger" ammo, that would actually be specific information.
