Sandy Hook shooting conspiracy theories

RecordOBS-0823
CategoryMedia/Disinformation
StatusDEBUNKED
SummaryConspiracy theories claiming the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting was a hoax, with 'crisis actors' and no real victims. These theories have been promoted by figures like Alex Jones and have led to harassment of victims' families.
OriginEmerged immediately after the shooting in December 2012, spreading through online forums and later amplified by Infowars.
Claimed
  • The shooting was staged with 'crisis actors'
  • No children were actually killed
  • The event was a false flag to promote gun control
Evidence / consensusThe shooting is thoroughly documented, with official investigations confirming the deaths of 20 children and 6 staff. The hoax claims are baseless and have resulted in legal action against promoters.
> OBSERVER NOTE:
One of the most grotesque examples of the genre. The families of murdered children have been subjected to years of abuse based on zero evidence. The courts have finally started holding the loudest promoters accountable.
