Rumors Online
Speculation spread on X after clips of the incident went viral.
One video suggested evidence tampering by men removing SD cards.
It claimed footage was secretly passed to another person behind a tent.
That video has already drawn more than 4 million views.

Some online users accused Turning Point staffers of covering up the shooting.
Kolvet dismissed those claims as unfounded conspiracy theories.
He said the truth is that staff acted responsibly under pressure.
Tyler Bowyer Responds
Turning Point USA COO Tyler Bowyer also weighed in.
He confirmed the person in the video was head of the show’s tech team.
“All video was turned over immediately to investigators,” Bowyer wrote.
He warned against “doxxing or villainizing” Kirk’s closest staff.
Bowyer said targeting grieving colleagues was “not right.”
He defended the team’s integrity in the aftermath of tragedy.
He said conspiracy theorists were undermining good people.
Protecting Evidence
Kolvet reiterated that the staffer wanted to keep evidence safe.
He said the man had the presence of mind to protect the footage.
Without his action, valuable recordings might have been stolen.
The FBI’s custody ensures the footage will be reviewed as evidence.
Turning Point leaders said they are fully cooperating with investigators.
