Deleting an active story that has a duplicate

Hi there! I just recently activated an article on the Youngstown shooting, only to find out that it's published 3 minutes behind another similar story. It didn't come up in the drafts when I was writing the article. I'm not really sure why. I am trying to delete it in courtesy of the other journalist who already uploaded this a few minutes ahead of me. If it is okay to have the article still up, it's fine. But if it needs to be deleted, I would really like some help on how to do it since I don't seem to see any option for me to delete now here on my end. Thank you very much.
