- On-air, Kelly said a black phone could be mistaken for a firearm and held up his own phone like a gun during his demonstration.

- Left-leaning outlets challenged Kelly’s framing and emphasized the reported sequence of events, with no definitive official account of the shooting presented in these reports.
