It COULD be the reporter reading the autopsy summary and not realizing that the initial description included both entrance and exit wounds . . .

Entirely possible. I’ve had some personal experience in this area, and I’ve seen both sorts of things take place. The “shoot in the back” theme is always associated with an agenda - essentially not to different from saying you were “rear-ended” in traffic. It places the blame in an entirely different domain.
