All along I couldn’t understand why some people were saying that they couldn't see him carrying anything. I wondered if there was more than one video.

One additional question that I have is about the scope. Why was the shooter confident enough that the scope was not jolted out of alignment? One possibility is that the guy down by Kirk, the one in white holding the phone, was using a targeting app on the phone which could have been connected to Kirk's phone.

Also Kirk was wearing a bullet-proof plate under his shirt and it looks like the bullet may have glanced off the plate and struck him in the neck.
