The National Desk — X Posts

@TND (The National Desk) is a broadcast news account, not a citizen investigator. It appears in this investigation for one same-day artifact: an on-scene eyewitness interview posted September 10, 2025, that became a fixture of the wound-location debate.

Claims from X posts

  • September 10, 2025 — An eyewitness at the UVU event told the outlet: "It was like a direct shot to the heart. It looked like right where his heart is, it started going red. He fell back and went to his side." — recorded on this site as the witness's account, not a medical finding (Shot in the Heart). (Source)
  • The clip is preserved in the Shot in the Heart photo cluster because the account is specific about location (the heart, a spreading red patch) and was given within hours, before footage circulated widely.

Investigative value

Later footage showed visible bleeding at the neck, no bullet hole in the shirt front, and no chest blood — and reporting settled on a neck wound. Researchers ask why so many early on-camera speakers converged on the same wrong location; the ordinary answers (chaotic scenes, repetition, distance) are strong ones, and nothing here accuses the witness or the outlet of anything. The clip is a primary data point in the witness-reversal record.
